Original Indiana Jones Truck Is On Ebay

[Megamicrofish]

I found this whilst searching Ebay

(search for 1949 CITROEN TYPE 23R TRUCK WAS IN INDIANA JONES FILMS)
If only I had £6750 laying around

Edit

I think this is it in Crusade

 

[MooCriket]

Very nice, just a tad too much though:lol

 

[Rhett J Martin]

Cool, now I can add that to the Kubelwagon and the tank I'm building (samll scale of course!)

 

[Mad Andy]

That is so cool! I don't have the cash or the place to store it, but what a great conversation piece to say the least

 

[SITHcamaro]

Imagine driving that down the street.

Then imagine doing so with a dude dressed as Indy clinging onto it. :lol

 

[DivineHeresy]

Would be such a cool thing to own.

First thing I thought of was this...

 

[propologist]

It would be cool if it had the original paint etc. Look like any truck of the day. It looks too new to me , plus where are you realistically going to do with it. Put it in front yard to look at. Sometimes our eyes are bigger than our sense.

 

[SithLord]

I see differences...bumper...front grill, lights....wipers....although it has been repainted it almost looks like it has also been restored...if it is indeed the actual vehicle...for a car collector who also loves the Indy films it seems the perfect item...

The trucks in ROTL were custom-made by the production. And the complete, drivable one (as opposed to the camera truck that only had a cab), was blown up.

Possibly the seller means (he believes) this particular model was used in the films, not this particular truck.

True, but there was also a stunt truck as well and either the stunt or hero is on display at Disneyland. Not sure which was blown up. I'd think they'd blow up the stunt truck but you never know.

Time to start playing the lottery.

 

[Treadwell]

I don't believe the Disneyland truck is screenused. It's just Disney-made dressing for the queue. Been wrong before...

 

[agent5]

This has been a point of interest to Indy fans for years, some believing its the real deal and others a Disney made replica. I happen to think some of the distressing matches the original just a bit too well to not be real. Why would they go through the trouble of creating the same rust spots when so many of their atractions are so non-accurate, Indy attractions of all types included?
We've been told my numerous people over the years who've worked at Disney it was the real deal. Nobody has verified that 100% but many believe it to be true. After all, they do have several other screen used vehicles in their possession.

 

[Treadwell]

Good points, I was unaware of so many matching spots.

Been there lots of times. Watched that MOVIE lots of times. I'm not convinced either.

This could be fun.

Jason, I am 20-30 minutes from the Capitalism Capitol of the World, and am an annual sucker (pass holder).

The truck is easily accessible.

Given specific areas of the truck well doc'd by screen caps that bear telling weathering, I'd be happy to go in with my cam and snap away.

Though it seems all to easy - I suppose SOMEONE at COW has done this already...

 

[agent5]

There are a couple of threads about it at COW somewhere. It's all subjective of course, but you can see many similarities. Some people think it's the real deal and others say no.

 

[Zodou]

Those screen grabs aren't at a high enough res to match the weathering pattern; but there is one difference between the two - notice the flat steel partition under the bumper with the six holes in it - that feature is not on the disney version. Now, that doesn't prove that the disney one isn't screen used only that is either 1) A different truck (stunt, hero, etc.) or 2) That part has been removed sometime between now and filming.

Also, the disney one lacks the frames around the windshield and the wipers above.
