The Pop Central Museum, billed as “the temple of pop culture,” is about to auction off “50 movie and TV series vehicles and motorcycles, and 19 automobilia (collectibles)” at no reserve as the museum manager plans to pivot and “move on to new automotive projects.” The lineup is pretty wild.
Pop Central is in Étréchy, France, not too far from Paris, and run by Franck Galiègue, who has a pretty cool YouTube channel documenting his various automotive adventures. The auction’s being facilitated by Bonhams, and will be running online from November 21 to 28.
Screen-used vehicles from Fast & Furious, Taxi, Jurassic Park, Drive, Men in Black, Back to the Future, Robocop, Ghostbusters, and The Dukes of Hazzard are in the mix, along with some high-quality replicas of vehicles from The A-Team, Herbie the Love Bug, Batman, James Bond flicks, and more. There’s also a life-sized T-rex statue for sale to park the Jurassic Park vehicle next to. Bonhams expects to get “€35,000-60,000” for the dinosaur model.
Disappointingly, those are the only four official photos of the lot being shared at this time. But you can see quite a few others making appearances on the YouTube channel I shared—here you can see Galiègue messing around with that crazy Back To The Future cop car:
And here’s a clip where he shows off one of John Wick’s Mustangs:
The auction house has released a list of most of the vehicles, though I guess there are still a few being added. Big highlights are a Mustang driven by Keanu Reeves in John Wick and an Evo driven by Paul Walker for 2Fast 2Furious. Here’s everything Bonhams has released. Estimated prices are in Euros since the auction’s in France, and right now €1 is about $1.15.
When you see “c” before the year, that’s for “circa” (exact year isn’t known), and “evocation” in this context basically means it’s a replica or tribute car.
We’ll update if Bonhams shares more! And if you’re thinking, “Didn’t we just hear about a movie car liquidation auction?” Yes, there was a big one in Colorado this summer.
