TV vehicles bring some crazy money.
Who would've thought Tony Saprano's 10k Suburban would bring 100k

Tony Soprano's Escalade sold for even more.....119K!
http://money.cnn.com/2015/11/21/auto...-auction-sold/

TV cars are definitely odd when it comes to valuations. Since James Gandolfini is deceased now, that may make people believe something is worth more?

I'm a big fan of both shows (MV and Sopranos) and will stop changing channels to watch an episode but I'm not paying "over sticker" to get one of their used cars.

Our Mini Vice was from George Barris's collection. He ordered it new from Wellcraft and was used for promoting the Universal Studios Stunt shows.
It came with all original documents, COA, a plate from his collection in the bilge and his crest on the side.
I bought it because it tied in with our boat and was just a cool piece of Barris history. Was hoping to get it signed next time he was at Volo.
Don't know if it's value went up since he passed away last month.

There is a guy in Florida that has a Vice Testarossa. He had it on EBay for over a million. It didn't sell. He also had it at RM Auctions and it didn't sell again. Guess he is stuck on its worth a million because the owner of the other one claims he turned down million dollar offers. I forget what it finally sold for. http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cult...ce-testarossa/

Yes it is. Believe if my memory is correct the seller was a pawn shop. The other one is at some swap shop in Florida. That owner did an interview and said he's turned down multiple million offers. For awhile the pawn guy thought it was worth millions.
