Yahoo Autos Paul Walker collection pulls in more than $2.3M at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale
No fewer than 21 two- and four-wheeled vehicles from the personal collection of the late "Fast & Furious" franchise star Paul Walker crossed the auction block at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale last week, bringing in more than $2.3 million combined, largely in part due to healthy bidding on Walker's collection of 1995 BMW M3 Lightweights.
The five E36-generation M3 Lightweights pulled in more than $1.2 million alone; the other million bucks and change came in piecemeal from other lots, with a few notable high-performers in the bunch, including a few surprises.
Aside from the Lightweights, the heaviest hitters were the silver 2009 Nissan 370Z used in "Fast Five" ($105,600), a 1989 R32 Nissan Skyline race car (a nice, round $100,100), a pair of E30 BMW M3 Coupes (1988 and 1991; $165,000 and $220,000, respectively) and a 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302S race car ($95,700).
While they weren't quite as noteworthy in terms of ultimate price, there were a few other items that attracted interest beyond their typical market value. Walker's 33,000-mile 1995 Ford Bronco, for example, hammered off at $73,700 — big money for the big 4x4 — and his 2000 Audi S4 sedan with a few custom touches pulled in $29,700. That's not big money for B-J, but it certainly is for a B5 S4, especially one without any documented engine work.
There was also a Duramax-powered 2004 GMC Sierra (with an accident history to boot) that pulled in $33,000, if you really want a head-scratcher.
