My friend is putting his fast and furious five Pantera up for auction with Barrett Jackson in Las Vegas this June.

Here is a link to the Pantera being snatched off of the rail car. Hard to tell exactly what is real, and what editing only made appear real. In light of its movie stunt history, I think the seller of this car would be wise to preemptively address such concerns by obtaining and providing documents showing a four corner alignment and weight-balancing results.
normally, I don’t think BJ is the right venue for getting top price for a Pantera, but the fast and furious provenance and bidders with a history of consuming beverages of intoxication, may prove to deliver a nice sold price.
good luck on your friend’s sale.

I thought I heard that they had purchased three of them, and one went to Australia?
There's a couple of threads on the cars here if you search "Fast & Furious". Here's the one where one of the PI Members talks about one of the cars that went to Aus. - pretty far down.

Apparently, there were 4 cars used in the shooting?

From the different clips and shots of the entire scene if you look close there were multiple cars used. The car that was used to drive off the truck is not the car that was pulled from the train.
There was a different car used at the beginning of the scene under the car cover not shown in the clip posted above. That car had windshield wipers and could be this car. The wiper grills are not visible due to the lighting. The first picture at the top of the thread shows that the car for sale has wiper posts.
The car pulled from the train had windshield wipers. It is hard to tell but this particular car looks like it was missing the wiper grills. Notice the paint on the hood which looks poor compared to the car above on the truck that does not have wipers.
Here is another shot of the car as it is landing on the truck. In this shot you can see that this car has wipers and grills. They may have pulled more than one car from the train.

From what I heard, there were 3 cars. One is in Australia, one was parted out and the other one my friend has. As far as I know…
Always fun to see this car. It turns a lot of heads.
Sold for $105000
