When you think of an armored car, the Love Bug comes last to mind, and that was probably the whole idea behind this conversion. It came about in the late ‘70s in Italy, when a wealthy industrialist in Bologna wanted to keep himself and his family out of the reach of Mafia kidnappers.
The Beetle, which, in addition to being bulletproof, is also unrestored and all-original, is offered by Chrome Cars on Get Your Classics. It was listed at auction in December 2020, with bidding ending at the end of the month without meeting reserve. At the time, it was estimated that it would fetch between €35,000 and €45,000 ($42,600 and $54,700) but the auction wrapped up at less than half the highest estimate.
An ‘Eleanor’ from “Gone in 60 Seconds” Is for Sale
Eleanor, one of the 1967 Mustang s featured in the 2000 movie Gone in 60 Seconds, is for sale. Only around a dozen Eleanor cars were built for the filming of the Nicolas Cage movie.
Three of them were used as hero cars, (used by the main actor and featured in most of the production of the film) and the others were used (and mostly wrecked) during the production of the movie. One of the three hero cars is now for sale with Chrome Cars in Germany.
The car features pepper gray paint, black stripes, and a black interior.
