Making up part of the 49th Annual Scottdale Auction, 21 of the late Paul Walker’s cars will be going under the hammer.
Best known for playing Brian O’Connor in the Fast and Furious franchise, Walker passed away in 2013 following a crash in his Porsche 911 GT. He died before the release of the seventh Fast & Furious movie.

Given his role in Fast & Furious over the years, it comes as no surprise that Walker, like his co-star and friend Vin Diesel, was a massive petrol-head. Walker owned numerous cars throughout his life, and 21 of such cars are soon being auctioned in his honour.
According to the release: “We’re deeply honored to offer the amazing Paul Walker Collection at our 2020 Scottdale Auction,” said Craig Jackson chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Paul’s impact was immense through both his influence as an actor in the ‘Fast and the Furious’ movies and his philanthropic drive as the founder of Reach Out Worldwide. We’re proud to help continue Paul Walker’s legacy by offering his esteemed collection to their new caretakers at our flagship Scottsdale event.”
The 21-strong auction is comprised of seven BMW M3s, five of which are E36 M3 Lightweights. Lightweights are lighter, track-focused versions with angrier rear wings and front spoiler, they have a 3.0 litres engine giving 240 brake horsepower. The cars are from 1995 and only 125 were ever made.

Other cars include the 2013 Ford Boss 302R race, a 5.0 V8 beast, and a 2009 Nissan 370Z, a performance car that actually made it into Fast Five, the fifth film in the franchise.
