Chevrolet Nova SS - 1971 / Fast and Famous #003

Kurt Russell is an all-American man, so of course he drives an all-American car in the movie Death Proof. The story of a stuntman who likes to take unsuspecting women for rides in his free time, he’s doctored his car to be “death proof,” but only for himself. The driver’s seat is a proper racing seat with padding and a reinforced roof panel, while the passenger seat is a tractor seat with Plexiglas surrounding it.

There were four cars built for the movie, and the only fully caged one that ran good enough to do the driving scenes was appropriately named “The Jesus.” Easter egg alert: The rubber-duck hood ornament is courtesy of Kris Kristofferson in Convoy. The other caged car, called “The Prius,” was destroyed during filming, which left “The Jesus” up for grabs, ultimately winding up in the hands of the true stunt driver’s high school son for a cool $500.
