Unfortunately, there were no surviving cars out of the 12 original Firebirds used for movie production. However, there was one car purchased by Universal Pictures that may not have been involved on the set, but the example was used as a promotional piece for the film. At one point, the car was thrown on eBay, but not one single bid was placed on the car. The vintage Firebird Trans Am then went up for bids at Barrett-Jackson and was purchased for a staggering $550,000 by a car collector in Florida named John Staluppi.
