Welcome to the 2015 Hollywood edition of The Weekend Australian Motoring, in which we reveal the top five movie cars of all time, and what it will cost you to look like Steve McQueen or hop in Herbie.
This is the most authoritative top five list ever published mainly because we've cobbled it together from everyone else's lists and added a few thoughts of our own.
No 1 has to be the silver birch, James Bond-owned, 1964 Aston Martin DB5. Nine years ago you could have bought a DB5 from the movie for $2 million. Today you'd pay about $7m.
Next is the 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT coupe or V8 Interceptor from Mad Max. Producers George Miller and Byron Kennedy sank $380,000 into the movie. Not being able to pay all their bills, they gave the car to a creditor. Suddenly Mad Max made $100m and they bought the car back.
No 3 is the 1968 Mustang GT 390 driven by McQueen in the movie Bullitt. Ford built two cars for the drive around San Francisco. One was destroyed and the other was sold to a studio employee, then to a detective and finally an owner who has stored it in a barn in Kentucky.
