Film museum closes: Fast & Furious cars, Herbie, and Starsky & Hutch's Ford Gran Torino up for auction.

Over 450 pieces of memorabilia (the collection includes around 100 cars, as well as motorcycles and other goodies) used in several blockbuster films will be auctioned off on Friday, August 22, 2025 , before being moved to a building in Colorado owned by Kimco Development , which has been used in recent years as the Rodz and Bodz Museum . Pending a possible move to larger premises, the management of this organization, launched in 2021, have officially announced the closure of the spaces accessible to the public. It will still be possible to rent some of the film props (a business that began in 2017). However, some of them are destined to disappear from the catalog in the near future, as this unique opportunity for fans of the genre will allow them to be purchased directly by submitting an offer (in person or remotely). Here are the models that are likely to be among the most popular.

The early 1990s Ford Explorer with its signature Jurassic Park livery, as well as some of the cars from the famous Fast and Furious films, and a replica of the Ford Gran Torino made famous by the Starsky & Hutch films (this one was used in the 2004 remake). And then there's Herbie , Disney's Love Bug, the Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo , the Rubble Racer from The Flintstones , a faithful reproduction of the Sheepdog van from Dumb and Dumber, and the unforgettable Ecto - 1 the Ghostbusters used to hunt ghosts. There is no minimum starting price for many of the items going up for auction, and the prices will be determined primarily by private bidding. The date to mark on your calendar for four-wheel enthusiasts is August 23, 2025 (while the day before will mainly feature memorabilia from the world of cinema), when the more than sixty vehicles will be on display to a public of enthusiasts that promises to be quite large.
