My two cents aswell: They keep the cars and piles of cars until the DVD's come out just in case they need to make a couple of more shots and to keep control. Most contracts have a buy back clause for the subcontractor that provided the cars- typically a nominal fee. Then the succontractor sells them off- I bought the angeles Bronco on Ebay fee years ago- in sat in the mojave desert for 5 years for Sony. It will give us all a pot of gold to chase after in about ten years when Kirkhams are fetching over a million dollars each- We all know the drill.

Bluedog,

No, there is probably no amount of money that will get me to paint a car again. Those days are long gone. The cars were filed when they left. They must have had a local shop do it.

big-boss,

They didn't run when they left here and they were not able to be run. They were movie props only. Both were exactly the same. I don't know of any other shots in the movie--Kirkham or other wise.

The movie house called us directly; they were very straight forward--and in a hurry! Quite easy to deal with, though. Rich Lacy delivered the cars.

David
