Thread: Shelby Cobra Body Shell Built and Used in the Movie, Iron Man

Tweet

This is the Kirkham-bodied mockup destroyed by the Iron Man character in the 2008 hit movie of the same name. One of two built for the movie, the car was damaged when the hero, portrayed by Robert Downey, Jr., crashed through the roof of his garage full of collector cars at the end of his first attempt at flying. Two cars using high quality Kirkham aluminum body shells were built for the filming of that scene, the second being a reserve in case it had to be shot a second time. This is the mockup used in the filming of that scene, which was witnessed by millions of moviegoers. This famous movie memento will be sold on a bill of sale.

Highlights:

- One of two aluminum-body Kirkham Cobra cars built for movie Iron Man
- Two were built in case of a need to crush a second one
- Car number 1, used in filming, damaged by Iron Man at the end of his first flight scene
- Seen by millions of moviegoers

For sale along with it's secondary "back up" roller. Both sold without drivetrain.
