In a few days, car enthusiasts and film buffs will have a chance to own some incredible pieces of American cinema. After four years of existence, Colorado’s Rodz & Bodz Movie Cars & More Museum closed for a third time this month. Later this week, on Friday, August 22, more than 60 film-used and replica movie cars will cross the auction block. Along with them will be over 400 pieces of movie memorabilia and road art. It’s a sad speedbump for one of the lesser-known, but great museums in America, but these cars will get to live on with collectors. Thankfully, there’s also some additional good news.
The Rodz & Bodz Movie Cars & More Museum closed its doors on August 3, and so visiting it is no longer possible, at least for now. We’re hearing this news from the Drive, which got its story from an Englewood Herald story published back in June. Somehow, all of mainstream car news somehow missed this until it was too late. That’s a shame because it sounds like the Rodz & Bodz Movie Cars & More Museum was an underrated gem. Most car museums preserve pieces of automotive history, but the Rodz & Bodz put a creative spin on it by saving screen-used movie cars and holding onto surprisingly accurate replicas of other movie cars.

Thanks. A couple pieces I wouldn’t mind having.
Paging Jay Leno...
Oh my, the Starsky and Hutch car, lol.
Beat me to it!
Vanity, vanity. All is vanity! Fk! I want one. Three!
It’s a shame breaking up this museum collection.
I’d love that 1970 Barracuda! My brother in law had one!
Not really a car guy but box and rectangle trucks like the 1981 GMC K2500 Sierra Grande are cool.
The red ‘cuda -OMG!
I want the Munstermobile but it’s not there.
My first thought, too. If they’re classics...yes....But I don’t think he buys because they were Hollywood. We’ll see.
The ‘Brubaker Box’ used in
‘Soylent Green’ is one I’d
Like to drive——Once.
.
Colt Seavers favorite too.
Butch Patrick tours with it to hoor festivals. I have a picture somewhere of him in Nashville last year with it.

I’d love to have that square body.
Too bad, it’s a very short drive from my home. I never knew that it existed.. Or I would have visited.
Oh, boy. The Gran Torino used in the Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson “Starsky & Hutch” remake. The Cadillac hearse used in the 2016 “Ghostbusters” remake with Melissa McCarthy that everyone hated. The “Spongebob” jet boat. An AMC Pacer just like the one used in “Wayne’s World.” A replica of the ‘74 Dodge P.O.S. used in “The Blues Brothers” — it had to be a replica, because that movie set a record for the most cars destroyed while making a single movie.
Truly, a legendary collection.
I’d love to have a Rick Simon Powerwagon.
I think I saw ghat one on “Collecter’s Call.”It was part of an impressive collection.
