It’s been a week of mixed feelings for Paul Walker fans. On the upside, most of the actor’s cars became available for the public to purchase, through the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, and a lot of them now belong to new owners. On the downside, that means an impressive collection of cars has been torn to pieces, each sent on its merry way.
Two of Walker’s former cars managed to snatch sums over the symbolic $100k threshold. We’ve already discussed the 1989 Nissan R32 Skyline GT-R, which managed to snatch $100,100 during the event.
The other Nissan on the lot, this time a 370Z from 2009, was auctioned off for a bit more than the Skyline, namely $105,600.
The car, painted silver, has been on the set of the 2011 installment of the Fast and Furious, and partially thanks to that, it became the most expensive car of its kind ever sold at auction.
Aside from the Paul Walker touch and the few minutes on camera (in a slightly different look than the one in which it sold), this particular Nissan is not very different from what usually comes rolling off the carmaker’s assembly lines. That means it has a stock 3.7-liter V6 engine linked to a 6-speed manual transmission, that develops 332 hp, with only 3,092 miles on the clock.
Just like in the movie, the car comes equipped with a removable steering wheel, but the bucket seats are different altogether.
Aside from the two cars mentioned above, the Scottsdale sale was the place where more cars that once belonged to Paul Walker went under the hammer: a 2000 Audi S4, 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302S, motorcycles, and a host of BMW M3s, five of which in Lightweight configuration.
Combined, these five ultra-rare E36 machines, specifically bred for racing back in their day, sold for over $1 million this past weekend.
