Read the full story on The Backfire News
Known for his tough-as-nails persona on the screen in plenty of crime and western movies, Clint Eastwood is a household name. But what most people don’t realize about the man is that he’s a big gearhead, owning an impressive collection of mostly classic cars.
Learn where the most famous movie and TV cars are now.
1977 Pontiac Trans Am
Just like his pal Burt Reynolds, Clint Eastwood owned perhaps the most iconic Trans Am ever made, complete with the black and gold color scheme and the screaming chicken on the hood. It’s one hell of an American muscle car.
1966 Ferrari 275 GTB
To seal the deal on Eastwood starring in the film The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, the actor who had turned down multiple offers for the film was tantalized with the promise of owning a beautiful Ferrari 275 GTB straight out of the factory – at least that’s the legend of how he obtained this beauty.
1992 GMC Typhoon
Shocked that Clint Eastwood drives a factory-modified fast American SUV from the 90s? Fans of this increasingly obscure vehicle will be thrilled and a lot of other people will scratch their heads over this choice.
1955 Cadillac Eldorado Series 62 Convertible
Purchased by Eastwood just two years after he married Maggie Johnson, this large luxury convertible has been one of the actor’s most beloved rides since day one. While some might believe the ’59 model year was the pinnacle of Cadillac design, Clint seems to be content with his ’55.
1972 Gran Torino Sport
That’s right, this is the car from the movie Gran Torino, which was purchased originally by producers from eBay of all places. Now it sits proudly in Eastwood’s garage.
