You Won't Believe How Much These Famous Movie Props Sold For

James Bond's Aston Martin DB5

You might recognize this vehicle from "Goldfinger" or "Thunderball," two early and successful Bond films. This Aston Martin was the quintessential Bond vehicle, boasting shapeshifting capabilities, and housing numerous booby traps, such as smoke screens, deployable oil slicks, and electrified security measures. But, in real life, this is just a really cool car. 

Wait, How Much Did it Go For?

There were two custom made Aston Martins that were prepared specifically for the Bond films. One of the cars was owned by a man in Florida, and in 1997, his car was stolen and never recovered. But, the second car was auctioned off in 2010 for $4.6 million. The auctioned car came with all of its movie-customized gadgets.
