Los Angeles, CA (Vocus) June 12, 2009
Next time you pull up at the light and get a few stares, it could be because you are driving Niobe's muscle car from the ultimate action movie trilogy, the Matrix.
Directed by Andy Wachowski, the film Matrix Reloaded is the second part of the exciting futuristic trilogy where Neo (Keanu Reeves), "the chosen one," has been leading the efforts in the war against man and machine.
"Niobe's (Jada Pinkett Smith) muscle car was cast to contrast Morpheus' (Laurence Fishburne) boxy 'suicide door' Lincoln and its principle scenes took place in our ode to My Dinner with Andre, the car chase scene. Originally there were three stunt cars used in the filming of Reloaded, two of which were totaled," says Andy Wachowski. "This is a priceless opportunity to own a piece of cinematic history and provide much needed resources for classrooms on DonorsChoose.org."
This Amazing Firebird features the following specifications:
"This Firebird is in pristine condition. Seldom do we see classic cars like this come to market, especially ones that played pivotal roles in blockbuster films," commented Eric Gazin, President of Auction Cause. "We think this is also the ultimate item for the world's biggest Matrix fan. How much fun would they have going for a spin in this ride?" he added.
One lucky winner will drive around in style in this mint condition 1967 black Pontiac Firebird, integral to one of the movies' epic fighting scenes.
