    Famed James Bond car up for sale

    NEW YORK (CNN/Money) -- James Bond's car -- really, the James Bond car -- will be going up for auction in January. Cars custom-built for Al Capone and Hank Williams Jr. will also be for sale at the same event.

    The 1964 Aston Martin DB5 driven by the character James Bond in the movies "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball" will be sold to the highest bidder at RM Auctions' Vintage Motor Cars in Arizona to be held in Phoenix, Arizona, on January 20, 2006.

    The car is one of four created for the films and for promotional use. The car has a variety of optional equipment for both offensive and defensive purposes.

    This includes a pair of .30 caliber Browning machine guns that deploy from behind the headlights (these are non-firing props), and a wheel-mounted tire slasher. An oil-slick ejector squirts out from the left-rear light cluster and a smoke-screen system is located next to the car's exhaust.

    The license plate revolves to display any of three different plates and the car still has its hydraulic ramming bumpers.

    In the interest of safety, the ejector seat has been replaced with a standard, non-ejecting passenger seat. RM Auctions would not comment on the car's estimated value.


    Well, what would it be worth??

    Does the smokescreen work? and why not just load up the weapons(unless the new props were not real guns, just non-functional replicas)

    I would buy this, replace the props with real weapons and sell it for far more than its worth.
