366. Custom-built "1937 Mercedes" German staff car from Raiders of the Lost Ark. (Paramount, 1981) This is the German staff car built and used in the famous chase sequence when Indy is in hot pursuit of the Ark of the Covenant and the Nazis were getting in his way. This exotic film car was built by Craig Hinton of Leaping Cats of Coventry, England; it was purposely built to reach 120 miles per hour and to withstand the rigors of one of the best known chase scenes in movie history. This black car with black leather interior was built to look like a 1937 Mercedes and was built around a Jaguar Mark IX chassis with a modified steel Jaguar Mark V body. The car is powered by a 285 horsepower dual overhead cam Jaguar XK-E engine and is mated to a Jaguar 4-speed manual transmission with button overdrive. The car comes to a halt via four-wheel Jaguar disc brakes. Hinton drove the car from England to Tunisia for the filming of the movie. The car still exhibits the dents on the rear passenger side caused by Indy driving the truck attempting to run them off the road. The car is in great driving condition; all the fluids have been changed and the brakes have been bled. Following the filming, Craig moved to Florida and exhibited it in special events such as the Bal Harbour Councours D'Elegance held on July 10, 1982 (brass window plaque from the event is included with the car). A fantastic and memorable chase car from one of the greatest action films of all time. $60,000 - $80,000
