A good friend of mine is offering a piece for sale on eBay that I’ve always been a fan of, so I thought I would provide a mention here for others in this art market who might find it of interest. I’ve always been attracted to movie car props, and this is one of those cars that is immediately identifiable to fans of contemporary cinema – the Chevy Nova from Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof.
Images and details can be found on the auction page on eBay:
You are bidding on the screen used Nova from Quentin Tarantino`s DEATH PROOF (2006). This is not one of the stunt Novas used during stunt and crash scenes but THE car that was used in all the close up and dialogue scenes with the actors. There were 7 Novas originally, only 2 of them survived the filming. One stunt Nova that was gifted to stunt driver Buddy J. Hooker after the production wrapped and this one that was kept by the production company and later sold to a private collector.
Nova includes: TH350 Transmission, original 350cui Engine, 650 Edelbrock carburetor, Hooker headers, Moroso valve covers, MrGasket fuel regulator, B&M shifter, quick disconnect steering wheel, positrack rear end, slapper bars, JAZ 12 gal fuel cell with roll over valves, ralley wheels, Simpson racing seat, Auto Meter gauges, full functional roll cage and many more race/stunt features. There is a hole from the engine bay through the dash where they pumped A/C into the car while shooting. It also still has the production used towing rig etc. for towing/shooting. All parts were intentionally aged and rusted by the production then clear coated for sealing.
This Nova is in strong running condition (just needs new battery) and comes with a Certificate Of Authenticity from TROUBLE MAKER STUDIOS signed by production designer Steven Joyner and head prop fabricator Jeff Poss, who built this car for the production of DEATH PROOF. The car is still in the private collection in Europe and will be shipped to your country with no shipping charges.
Own the screen used movie car driven by Kurt Russell as Stuntman Mike in Quentin Tarantino`s DEATH PROOF!
