Man's vast abandoned movie car collection has some incredibly niche gems

This man’s vast abandoned movie car collection had some incredibly niche gems inside it.

TJ Lamb, host of YouTube channel Magnacars, paid a visit to the site in Branson, Missouri.

There were a ton of vehicles at the lot, all of which had amazing star-studded backstories.

Let’s just say, one film franchise is very well represented here.

There are a lot of epic car collections out there.

There was the legendary haul of the guy who became a millionaire at age 14, as well as this huge line-up of Italian icons stored in New Zealand.

But we have to admit, there’s something particularly cool about a lineup of movie cars.

Because there’s a nice feeling that comes with saying ‘Oh, I’ve seen that car before!’

One guy in Detroit, Michigan, has collected some awesome film cars over the years, appearing in flicks such as Dukes of Hazzard and The Blues Brothers.

But it’s hard to beat the Celebrity Car Museum in Branson, Missouri.

TJ Lamb, the host of YouTube channel Magnacars, has previously visited the museum.

The museum plays host to some epic cars, many of which featured in the Fast & Furious series.

With 10 movies released over more than 20 years, you can only imagine how many cars have featured on movie screens over the years.

But what’s inside the Celebrity Car Museum is only the tip of the iceberg.

Lamb returned to take a look at the overflow lot, guided around by Dev Drives, the owner and curator of the museum.

The first car they looked at was a Mustang Fox Body, which appeared in Fast & Furious 9 (2021) and Fast X (2023).

“This was John Cena’s car, it was kind of a throwback,” Drives explained.

“Vin Diesel was into the Chargers, John Cena was always the Mustang guy, and so it was kind of like the duality between the two brothers.”

The Shaggin’ Wagon from Dumb and Dumber (1994) also made an appearance, but let’s be honest – the Fast & Furious series was the real star of the show here.

But it wasn’t the only franchise getting all of the attention.

Danny Glover’s car from Lethal Weapon 3 (1992) was also on the lot.

“[It no longer] has an engine, that car came from Planet Hollywood,” Drives said.

“Then we got it out of their warehouse and set it in the weeds.”

Other movies that were represented included Iron Man 2 (2010) and Twister (1996).

One Chevy on the lot had even belonged to Ol’ Blue Eyes himself.

“When it was new, Frank Sinatra bought it,” Drives said.

“All the actors were doing this thing where they were going out on set, and they were roughing it in campers.

“But [Sinatra] didn’t like it as much as he thought he would, so he wound up selling it to one of John Wayne’s guys.

“That guy took it up to Alaska for camping, and it eventually ended up in Los Angeles.

“It ended up being used for a movie called American Folk.“

There were also some cars from TV shows, such as Gotham (2014 – 2019), Breaking Bad (2008 – 2013), and Better Call Saul (2015 – 2022).

The latter car had been driven into a gorge in the show, and…well, you could tell.
