According to the auction house, the film enjoyed non-stop suspense throughout its 3 minutes and 11 seconds.
In one scene, Leo’s drug addict Jordan Belfort falls down the stairs and then drags himself to the car after taking too many drugs.
The high-end ride took a few bumps and bruises during the making of the film, as it should have been totaled.
According to the seller’s description, “the Hero Car was used in the actual stunt sequences, which included swerving with the scissor door open, colliding with other vehicles, and hitting various objects such as a sign and a mailbox.”
It is mentioned at Bonhams cars.
The auction house describes it as ‘An undisturbed time capsule from one of Hollywood’s most notoriously debauched films.’
