I don’t know how legitimate this is. I have a hard time thinking this would appear on a Craigslist posting. eBay I could understand since these types of cars pop up on there quite a bit. Needless to say, it would be pretty cool to have something like this. Only $28,000 too, which again, seems a little cheap for a movie car.
Here’s info from the Craigslist.com ad:
THIS IS THE ACTUAL PORSCHE 911 DRIVEN BY CHARACTER 14K IN THE MOVIE DEATH RACE. THE STUDIOS SPENT BETWEEN $250K – $300K ON EACH CAR BUILT FOR THE MOVIE TO ACCOMPLISH THE “PRISONER BUILT LOOK” THEY WERE LOOKING FOR. IT FEATURES FRONT MOUNTED PROP 50 CALIBER GUNS AND A ROCKET LAUNCHER AND WELL AS A REAR MOUNTED MISSILE LAUNCHER. THE BODY WAS WIDENED TO FIT THE EXTRA WIDE REAR WHEELS, FAUX ARMOR WAS APPLIED. THIS WAS ONE OF THE HERO / CLOSE UP CARS, NOT A STUNT CAR. IT WAS NOT DAMAGED DURING THE FILMING AND IT FEATURES ALL OF THE MOVIE SEEN COSMETICS INCLUDING THE WILD INTERIOR WITH GAUGES, SWITCHES AND WIRES ALL OVER THE PLACE.
WHEN IT COMES TO MOVIE CARS, THE LEAST ORDINARY THEY ARE, THE MORE VALUABLE THEY BECOME BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE EASILY RECOGNIZED. PLUS, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT RECOGNIZED, THEY ARE A SIGHT TO SEE THAT DRAWS MAJOR ATTENTION.
ONLY 4 PORSCHES WERE MODIFIED FOR MOVIE USE, THIS INCLUDES THE STUNT CARS THAT WERE HEAVILY DAMAGED. ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE CLAIM TO OWNING ONE OF THESE UNIQUE ATTENTION GETTING SHOW CARS. A 1 OF 25 BUILT 1970 CHEVELLE, AS RARE AS IT MAYBE, IS STILL A 1970 CHEVELLE TO ON-LOOKERS. A CAR LIKE THIS WILL STEAL THE ATTENTION AT ANY SHOW. MORE THAN A SHOW CAR, IT IS AN ATTRACTION. FULLY DOCUMENTED.

Who’s ready to pool their pennies together to buy this bad boy???
Wow, little bit beyond what I was thinking. Hope to see more content like this.
It looks like someone ran across one of those old barn Porsches and slapped a bunch of garbage on it to transform it into the Deathrace Porsche.
Upon closer inspection that VIN is bogus. As far as I know there are no 10-digit VINs. 17-characters minimum.
I’ve put down five thousand pesos for this.
I don’t know what you would ever do with this if you bought it. I guess you could buy it and make your own movie and make more than enough money to pay for it.
Ha!! So cool. It looks like the terminator, but in car form.
I’m down with chipping in to buy this car, as long as the rockets on top are real. If they aren’t real, I’m not interested.
o come on andrew just have a little fun. did your parents always tell you santa wasn’t real??
kinda reminds me of something that could’ve been on star wars
I think just having a car that looks like this on the freeways, it would gain you a certain amount of respect. Especially when it come times to merge into traffic and no one will let you in!
wow 250-300k on EACH car to make them look prison-made. I woulda done it for 100k a car ? ;P
I knew Santa wasn’t real when he didn’t bring me my Weenie Whistle.
I like what kathi said. Itt would make my trips from SC to Texas a little quicker. I don’t know any cops that would try to pull someone over with some surface to air missles on its back and military grade machine guns under the front hood. lol. besides turning a few head i dont really see the point in buying this car, but hey it could be fun.
would sure be cool to see this racing in baja!!!
Somebody ruined a nice car is all i see..sorry 🙁
You would not have to worry about road rage with this bad boy. Drivers would run off the road just gawking at this car. This is what you would call an “attention getta”.
I’d put this under “showroom only”. I’m certain all of the characteristics are off with the extra bits added and the just the loss of the hood. That said, yes, it does look cool. However, I’m certain anyone with access to a junk yard and some tubing could make the same thing for a whole lot less than 200K.
This would be great driving down the road and parking in lots. All the kids would swarm.
After the changes could you still consider this Porsche a babe-mobile?
I wonder what the city/hwy mileage is?
I wonder what modifications need to be done to have it street worthy?
This would be the perfect car for my daughter to drive to school. Maybe it will scare all the boys away??????
would get some looks.
Trick my Porsche
street legal?
4cyl?what’s that about?
The perfect car for any father with a teenage daughter!
anyone know if it sold?
I searched and could not find anything about it being sold.
maybe seinfeld can add it to his collection.
Has anyone found any info about this car? Or was it a Graig’s list hoax?
I tried searching craigs list and could not find anything.
never saw the movie.may have to check it out once it hits cable.
That is a nasty looking Porsche! I also wonder if it sold.
Freakish and Ugly….wow
Fraky, nasty & ugly????? People, it’s still a Porsche!
Not only is it still a Porsche, but also a babe magnet!
mad maxx all the way!
Tina Turner would not be able to ride shotgun, because of her hairdo.
Tina Turner may not fit, but Halley Berry is petite and so is her “do.” No if I can only convience her to wear the catwoman outfit.
going to be on cable this month.will be fun to see it in action.
anyone seen this movie?looks entertaining.
I have never seen the movie, but asfter viewing this Porsche I may have to go and rent the video, if it’s out? I don’t have any movie channels.
I wonder what the top speed is, with the 4 cyl?
crap
any buyers yet?
Phil, It may be crap, but it’s still a Porsche, with somemajor firepower.
Wow, only a mother would want this
Just looking at the photos I believe there would require some modifications to make this car street legal.
It would be awesome, speeding down the road and hugging a curve with no door.
