Death Race 2000 ‘Monster’ for sale

Fast and Furious. Smokey and the Bandit. Death Race 2000. Ostensibly, this is a short list of Very Bad Car Films. But all share a special place in every petrolhead's DVD collection (usually the same dusty shelf as a VHS copy of Jurassic Park).

There is now another way to express your passion for all things slightly terrible, and it is with this: ‘The Monster' from 1975 cult classic, Death Race 2000, which has just popped up for sale at Volo Auto Museum in Illinois.

Driven by ‘Frankenstein' (played by the late David Carradine), The Monster's a 1968 VW with a modified Corvette body slapped on top. The indicators, lights and engine work, and you can take off that funny spine thing for extra visibility.

But the best bit is the price. This wonderful sliver of B-movie history costs just $19,998 (£12,256).

Anyone tempted?
