"The Fast and the Furious" and "2 Fast 2 Furious"
1993 Toyota Supra For Sale
This is the ONLY opportunity to own the car that starred in the hit movie "The Fast and the Furious" and continued its fame in the sequel "2 Fast 2 Furious". This is the 2nd Stunt Unit car as it labeled on the air filter, inner fenders, Keys and in other various places. This car is mostly noticed as being the car that did the bridge jump scene and wrecked into the Pepsi Billboard. After the car was wrecked into the billboard it was accidentally sold by Universal Studios at a movie prop auction in Florida, December 2003. The car was then brought to Eddie Paul's shop, the original builder of the cars for both movies, and restored and authenticated by himself and the stunt driver, Kevin Jackson. Both Eddie Paul and Kevin Jackson have signed the cars rear spoiler to show its authenticity. There are several special safety items that the car has such as skid plates that cover the whole underbody, a massive roll cage, removed door windows, special oil tank to release oil when wrecked, huge picture of a modified engine on the under hood, dummy front mount intercooler, and several other features. The car was restored with everything new or refurbished to "2 Fast 2 Furious" specs. The car has the only real working set of Lumi Needles (Neon speedometer gauges) from any car in the movie. There are five main character cars from the first movie privately owned, and one from the second, and this is it. This car was one of the four that were refurbished from the first for the second movie. This is the ONLY stunt car of the six total cars from both movies privately owned. This is also the only authentic stunt car left, as Universal Studios took all the cars and transformed them all into show cars. This car has double the star power from being in both movies and on top of that it has been in several magazines, books, and has been a feature car in big car shows such as Hot Import Nights, D1 Drifting Events, and many Motor Trend shows. The car can be driven and works mechanically, but is not street legal and has no title and is sold on a Bill of sale only. The motor is a stock Naturally Aspirated Engine with 5 Speed manual transmission. This car is sold with a Certificate of Authenticity from Eddie Paul. Specs of the Car are as follows:
* OZ Super Leggera III Wheels with Toyo Tires * TRD 3000 GT Body Kit * Custom See Through TRD Hood by EP Industries * Custom Roll Cage by EP Industries * Greddy Full Exhaust System * Greddy Front Mount Intercooler * Lumi Needles (Only Supra from the movie that has REAL Lumi needles) * Master Craft Safety Seat, Harness, and Other Safety Equipment * JAZ fuel cell * Oil tank and undercarriage dumping system * Full underbody Skid Plates * Safety Plexiglas inner windshield HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE
This 1993 Supra was bought stock from a car dealership in California by Eddie Paul under contract of Universal Studios to be transformed into the "The Fast and The Furious" Supra driven by Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker). In this movie the car was driven by Brian O'Connor played by Paul Walker. The car was painted orange, with a BOMEX body kit and a high-rise aluminum rear spoiler, custom upholstery done by Stitch Craft with Sparco seats. During Production of the film this car was used for driving, minor jumps, and was the car that had the 70 Dodge Charger flip over it in the ending scene of the movie. Once the Filming of the movie was completed it was shown across the country to promote the movie. The car at that time was sent into storage at Universal Studios Warehouse. When Universal Decided to have a sequel to the movie the car was pulled along with the other returning cars for their transformation into the cars of "2 Fast 2 Furious". EP industries transformed the car into a full out jump scene stunt car. In this movie the car was driven by Slap Jack played by Michael Ealy. This car is known for the famous bridge stunt scene where Slap Jack's supra is jumped over by Brian O'Connor's Skyline. The car lands after the jump and wrecks into a Pepsi billboard. At the end of production Universal Studios had an auction to sell props and background cars from the film through the Auction Company of America. At the auction this car along with the Yenko Camaro that wrecked into the boat were accidentally sold (see pictures of the two cars on the auction floor). The cars were both sold to Pennsylvania and the Supra was then put on eBay. It was then sold to a salvage yard in the Midwest and the current owners bought it from there. It was brought home to Pennsylvania and then shipped out to California for Eddie Paul to do the proper restoration of the car and put it back to the original movie specs by the original builder Eddie Paul. Once completed the car was featured in shows around the United States, published in magazines, and published in the two books written by car builder, Eddie Paul.

From what I have read, this is just a replica, no actual mods besides visual. Crig did build the origional, and it cost him over $250,000 to do it (no the $15K like they said it would take in the movie), and whoop on any Ferrari it is put up against. I have heard this, but it has yet to be proven, so I am saying that the car did NOT appear in the second movie.

The original car was $150,000, which includes all modifications and the original price that Craig paid for the car. There were 5 replicas in the movie, and ALL replicas were destroyed...which was information released by Universal themselves. I can guarantee Craig would not have let a cosmetic replica of his car get out...then his would not be so individual...so this guy selling the car, is bull *** the pants off you guys

they did not destroy the replicas from 1f1f, they reused them in 2f2f (which is what this guy is selling). the actual car was not reused but the stuntcars were taken and remodeled for 2f2f. the same goes for the rx-7, and s2k.
