It was later restored to its original condition before crossing the block at the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas auction, where it blew away the $185,000 paid for a lookalike stunt car that was auctioned in 2015.
The Las Vegas Supra was built for the film by California’s The Shark Shop and features a custom body kit, high rear wing and the iconic “Nuclear Gladiator” graphic. Its styling was redesigned and the car assigned to another character in the “2 Fast 2 Furious” sequel film, but later returned to its original condition.

According to the Hagerty Price Guide, a similar car in perfect condition without the Hollywood connection would be worth up to $134,000.
