What Happened to Tina, the Porsche from Gone in 60 Seconds?

The Porsche nicknamed Tina in Gone in 60 Seconds was reported listed for $65,900 in June 2022—but it was not a factory 996. The stunt car paired a 1978 Porsche 911 chassis with a custom, 996-style composite body. That asking price and listing status are historical; the available records do not establish whether it sold privately or remains for sale.

Is the Porsche from Gone in 60 Seconds really a 996?

Not as a complete production car. Tina is the Porsche featured in the film’s opening car-theft sequence. Barrett-Jackson’s auction archive describes it as a 1978 Porsche 911 whose original body was removed and replaced with a handcrafted composite-fiberglass body modeled on the 1999 Porsche 911 (996). TopSpeed’s 2022 account identifies the donor as a 1978 Porsche 930, while Barrett-Jackson calls it a 1978 911. The records differ on the subtype, so the safest description is a 1978 911-based stunt car with a custom 996-style body.

Barrett-Jackson says SPS Porsche Builders were hired to build the car and notes that the stunt work included the dealership-window crash. The car was titled as a 1978 Porsche, according to the auction archive.

How much was Tina listed for?

TopSpeed reported on June 21, 2022, that a private seller in Jackson, Mississippi, had listed Tina on ClassicCars.com for $65,900. That is the reported asking price at the time—not a confirmed sale price or a current valuation. The sources do not establish whether the listing is still active, whether Tina later sold privately, who owns the car now, or what it might be worth today. TopSpeed’s June 2022 report

What happened to Tina before the 2022 listing?

Barrett-Jackson’s archive records Tina as a sold lot at its Scottsdale 2012 auction. The accessible auction record does not state the sale price. It describes the vehicle as sold as-is as a prop and says the sale did not convey rights or interests in the film, film merchandise, or reproduction or commercial use. Buying the car therefore did not include the right to license or commercially reproduce Gone in 60 Seconds material. Barrett-Jackson’s 2012 lot record

How Tina differs from a production 996

The 996 was a production generation of the Porsche 911, not simply another name for Tina’s custom stunt build. Care of Carl’s March 29, 2025 feature says the generation debuted at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show and marked the 911’s shift from air cooling to water cooling. It describes the early 3.4-litre flat-six configuration as producing 300 horsepower and reports that more than 175,000 996s were sold between 1997 and 2005. Those model figures are Care of Carl’s, not specifications for Tina’s modified car. Care of Carl’s 996 background

Rank #2

For a collector, a movie-car connection is only one part of the picture. The auction record establishes Tina’s prop status and construction history, but it does not make the car an unmodified 996 or transfer film rights. A buyer assessing a similar vehicle would need to consider its documented provenance, chassis and body construction, title and road-use status, condition, and the specific rights included in the sale.
