Find and Save these 80s Cars?Hollywood, California

We heard from several people after our post on the Better Off Dead Camaro, wondering where other Eighties movie cars are today. Felix mentioned an article in Porsche Excellence about finding the four Tom Cruise/Risky Business 928s, and wondered where some other cars are.

His list includes:

• The red Bentley from Caddyshack, possibly the black 911 [we’re pretty sure he means the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III–ed]
• Magnum?s Ferrari 308 GTSi qv
• Eddie Murphy?s car from Beverly Hills Cop [’70 Nova?–ed]
• The Ferrari from Ferris Bueller?s Day Off [1961 Ferrari 250 GT Spyder California–ed]
• The green beetle from Bullitt [How about the Porsche 365 B cab?–ed]

Great starter list. How about also:

• The Stripes GMC motorhome
• The Delta 88 from Blue Velvet
• Continuing the Tom Cruise theme, the Top Gun Kawasaki and Porsche Speedster
• The Sixteen Candles Rolls-Royce, and on the John Hughes theme, the Pretty in Pink Karmann-Ghia and Gary’s Ferrari Mondial in Weird Science

• The LTD from Terminator

Dan already beat me to the Herkimer Battle Jitney. He and Dan Roth at Autoblog were already talking about these significant but non-star cars. He had forgotten all about the Judge Dredd Landrover 101s, though, which seem to have been located and are for sale. I recall Land Rover making some PR hay out of them at the time.

What else should be on our list?
