One of the perks of being a celebrity is having the money to buy the kind of car that you like. If I had all the money in the world, I would buy the 1964 Aston Martin BDS used in the movie Gold finger .007. This is one of the rarest cars ever.
There are only two 1964 Aston Martin BDS that were manufactured ever to be exact. Only one is still alive and it was auction off. Get this, some of the gadgets used in the movie is still installed. Whoever owns the car now must be one hell of a millionaire.
Koenigsegg personally delivered the car to Leno. Yes, in case you are wondering, he is the founder of this brand. He went all the way to Leno’s South California home to hand the car and the keys to the chin man.
So what does stripped down means? Of course they kept the dashboard and the center section. They really can’t move that because of the iDrive System. They removed that front and back seats, sound deading, speakers and others. What he did is put in Ohlins coilovers, six-piston front, four-piston rear Brembos caliers over slotted rotors, a functional carbon fiber wing, a roll cage, and a new set of light yet durable Volk wheels.
Another movie known for spotlighting hot cars is the 007 series. The last installment used the Aston Martin DBS. It has 4.0 Liter and 325 HP. Get this… they are auctioning this exact car for a starting price of $5 million. The last 007 car that was auctioned was the 1964 Aston Martin DB4 from Goldfinger that sold for $75,000.
However, I favor his more classic cars. I personally own a vintage and, with the help of my friends, jazed it up a bit. I had my rims changed for a bigger one. From 14″ to 16″ which took a lot of work but that’s okay. It’s worth it anyway. Just a bit of advice if you are going to change your tires, upgrade to Good Year tires. It may be more expensive but it is worth it.
