Remember the tangy Toyota Supra driven by the late Paul Walker we posted up some time ago? This car from the first movie in the Fast and Furious franchise was put under the hammer and was the golden chance for any fans who wanted to own a piece of the legacy. It seems that it did not take long for the car to be taken to a new home as it was recently sold at an auction for USD 185,000 (RM 667,110).

The Supra was sold at the Mecum Auctions held in Indianapolis and fell within its pre-auction estimate of between USD 150,000 – 200,000. The car was one of several Mk IV Supras built by Eddie Paul from The Shark Shop for the 2001 movie. It was featured in several key scenes, most notably the final race between Brian O’Connor and Dominic Toretto in the 1970 Dodge Charger.

However, what lines underneath the hood might not win a lot of races in the real world as the car is not that far off from a stock model. The naturally-aspirated 3.0-liter engine only pushes out about 230-horsepower. It comes with a Bomex body kit, APR wing, and the decals was done by San Diego’s Modern Image.
