Do you remember 1995 Bad Boys Movie? If you are a movie enthusiast you probably do! The film is know for its many top cars, yet the one that caught the eyes was the 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6, driven by Will Smith’s character Mike Lowry.
Michael Bay, the movie’s producer and the person behind Will Smith’s rise to fame as one of Hollywood’s top celebrities owned the black Porsche featured in the film. It’s now 25 years since the movie was released, and the car, which Bay sold for $60,000, fetched over a million dollars in an auction in January 2022.
After the film’s production and release, the car garnered more popularity, topping many collectors’ and car buffs’ priority lists. Bay did the obvious thing and sold it in 1995. Several people have owned the car afterward. It turns out Sandston owned the car for ten years, after which he sold it to an unnamed individual in 2005. Three years later, the owner sold it to Matthew Drendel, and the previous owner bought back the car in 2014.
Bad Boys Porsche sold for $1.3 million in auction
While the newly released 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo has every feature to make a high-spirited driver grin, the 1994 model draws interest from many collectors. As highlighted on DuPont Registry, they finally got the chance to bid for the vehicle in a recent Mecum auction that took place in Kissimmee, FL, where it sold for $1.3 million.
The auction news reached Michael Bay, who didn’t hold back his regret for selling the car. CinemaBlend dug into Bay’s Instagram account, where he notes, “Can you believe my personal Porsche that I put in Bad Boys just sold for $1.3 million? Boy was I stupid. I sold it to a friend because I like him, but he sold it for $45,000.”
