There are some cars which, through their appearance on screen, have become icons and legends.

Max Rockatansky’s XB Falcon GT Coupe, The evil Plymouth Fury named Christine, or Bond’s gorgeous DB5, the list goes on.

So we’ve picked out a few used cars which we think are better off for having been stars.

1999 E38 BMW 750IL – $17,000

There’s also a behind-the-scenes reason for us to choose the 750iL over the 735i which the movie referred to. While it’s referred to as a 735i, it’s actually the V12-powered halo 7 Series.

The one for sale is an auto, and has a few kays on the clock… 197,000km isn’t unheard of for a two-decade-old car though. The seller is asking $17,000, which is fair if it’s in good condition and doesn’t need mechanical attention.

1981 DeLorean DMC-12 – est. $69,000

But it’s not fast, with only 96kW being drawn from its atmo V6. As friend-of-MOTOR (and our sister title Unique Cars) John Bowe said after driving one for UC:

“It was pleasant to drive, but was obviously tuned for the US market, which favours ride comfort and smoothness over road feel and handling. If it had double the power and stiffer suspension, it would have been wonderful.”

This one’s actually located in the UK as there aren’t many around in Australia, and only 9000-or-so worldwide. It’s got low kays, just 11,241km, and the £37,500 ($69,180) asking price isn’t horrendous considering the iconic nature and rarity of these stainless aluminium wonders.

1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R – $85,990

You know, before they became a military operation and started driving tanks.

This one’s white, rather than silver and blue, and doesn’t feature under-body neons. But it does have a RWC, and doesn’t look like it’s been jumped, which is a plus.

1970 Dodge Charger R/T – $57,000

…or Dukes of Hazzard, if you like. The Dodge Charger has many connections to the screen, both small and big, but this one fulfils two. It’s the correct year and spec to somewhat mimic (sans blower and a few horses, that is) the Charger R/T driven by Dom Torretto in the FnF films.

MORE Fast and Furious Supra sells for USD185,000

But it’s also the same colour as the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard, minus the questionable flag on the roof.

Sure, the Fast Charger is black, and the Duke boys drive a ’69, but this one’s going for $57K…. but it’s in California. Send us a postcard?

1971 Ford XY Falcon GT HO Phase III (Replica) – $118,000

As with most old locally-made flicks, it’s not perfect, but there are plenty of cars to keep it worth watching, and the action scenes make up for the acting.

The protagonist wants to become a great street racer from behind the wheel of his Phase III, a good choice on his part, though given the state the car finds itself in, a replica might have been a better financial investment.

This one’s up for sale for $118,000, but is it worth six figures if it’s not the real deal?

Bonus: Replica MFP Pursuit car – $20,000

It’s not a 100% spot-on copy, but it’s close. The original was actually an XB, much like Max’s Interceptor, but who cares?

And the seller is no Goose for keeping the price to a reasonable $20,000, even if it’s got no RWC.
