That's right! According to TMZ, The 320 horsepower 3.0L 2JZ-GTE inline-six engine car with a four-speed automatic transmission sold over the weekend for a whopping $550,000! And Walker's younger brother Cody reported that Paul would have chuckled at the price it went for.

Auctioneer Barrett-Jackson described the vehicle: "The car was built by Eddie Paul at The Shark Shop in El Segundo, CA, for the first movie," he explained. "To complete the look, the Supra features a Bomex front spoiler and side skirts, TRD-style hood, APR aluminum biplane rear wing, and 19-inch Dazz Motorsport Racing Hart M5 Tuner wheels."

Thus, Eddie Paul took it upon himself to give fans an inside view of how he built the car from beginning to end. With fun facts and special movie details pointed out in his video, it's clear that this was a special project for the car fanatic. According to Eddie, he was honored that his Toyota Supra was chosen for the movie.
