One of the most coveted cars, Paul Walker's Toyota Supra, is up for auction.

This isn't the first Fast and Furious-used Toyota Supra up for auction, but it's the first factory Turbo up for auction by Barrett-Jackson this summer.

We've all imagined the dream car that we've probably seen on TV, a truly amazing sports car capable of racing through the streets at unique speeds and driving it like it was a scene from The Fast and the Furious.

Well, right now, Fast & Furious fans will have a huge chunk of movie memorabilia to look at while The 1994 Toyota Supra from the original film is up for auction at Barrett-Jackson. this summer.

The auction house announced that it shipped the car last Thursday and it this is the car that the late Paul Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, drove in the movie for multiple outdoor and indoor scenes. Automatically, the car is much more attractive to fans with Walker's on-screen connection.

However, this car served a dual purpose and actually appeared in the original film's sequel 2 Fast 2 Furious as a gold colored Supra driven by Slap Jack in the opening street race and other scenes.

After the second video, the car returned to its original bright orange color. with matching vinyl decals, officially named Nuclear Gladiator, from the first film. Details of the car from the film, including the Bomex front spoiler and side skirts, TRD-style hood, Dazz Motorsport Racing wheels, and APR large rear wing, are present and counted.

Unlike some of the Fast and Furious Supras we've seen for sale in the past, this is actually a factory Supra Turbo, which, in addition to its Walker connection, makes it more desirable. turbocharged engine с3.0 liter eis inline cylinders stays as it is, but married to a four-speed automatic transmission. The builders of the car covered this up pretty well with a short-throw switch that belies the fact that it's an automatic.

Now the biggest question of all may be how much this car will sell for, but we'll see that when the car crosses the block in mid-June. For some perspective, the last Supra associated with the film sold six years ago for $185,000, and it was just a non-turbocharged stunt car.
