We have all dreamed of owning and driving the cars we see on big screens at least once in our lives — well, one man from Detroit has come close to that dream, as he owns multiple cars from famous movies.
Mark Marougi has been collecting famous movie cars since 2005.
His collection includes cars from movies like The Fast And Furious, Dukes of Hazzard, and more.

Movie car collection
Marougi has a clear passion for muscle cars and movies with fast cars.
His passion has also led him to buy many iconic cars from famous movies.
He travels to collect these cars and he’s had about 30 different famous movie cars.
Marougi not only collects these cars but also sells them.
His current car collection is also filled with muscle cars, and you might recognize a few of them.
Iconic cars from famous movies
Marougi currently owns five iconic cars from famous movies that you may recognize.
- 1969 Charger from the Dukes of Hazzard (2005 movie)
- 1991 Crown Victoria from the Blues Brothers (2000 movie)
- 1967 Barracuda Corkys from the movie Corkys and Knight Rider TV show
- 1970 Road Runner from Fast and Furious 7 – Vin Diesel’s car
- 1999 Nissan Maxima from the first Fast And Furious movie
“I used to own tons of muscle cars, but these are to me cooler because people know them and they don’t get lost in time. They’re basically timeless, people see them and are like, ‘Oh I remember that car,” Marougi told 7 News Detroit.
His first movie car was the Black Beauty from Green Hornet (original TV series), which he bought in 2005.
Other than that, he also owned a 1993 Toyota Supra, another car driven by Paul Walker in the first Fast And Furious.
“It brings people back to their childhood, and I think that’s why I buy a lot of these cars because I’m remembering how good the childhood was,” said Marougi.
These iconic cars from famous movies are also an important part of the history of cinema.
Each one comes with its own story, so it’s no wonder they are so highly valued.
