Ethan Hunt's (Tom Cruise) screen-matched acid-damaged Brink's armored truck from J.J. Abrams' Mission: Impossible III. Weld marks, a scratch on the back window, and production-made damage to the side of this truck screen-match to when Owen Davian's (Philip Seymour Hoffman) men freed him from IMF custody by spraying acid on the car in which Hunt transported him.
This 1996 Brink's International 4770 DT466E truck with VIN "1HTSCAAP0TH351517" originated from the collection of Cars Against Crime, a Minnesota-based charity that displays production vehicles to raise money to support first responders and civil servants. It features a custom-painted black and gray exterior numbered "9462" in two places with Minnesota license plate "YNA8118" and riveted metal armor plated over the grill and sides. The right side features a jagged hole meant to simulate acid damage with smaller bullet holes surrounding it.
The truck's interior features black leather upholstery with gray carpeting on the dashboard and glass barriers between the driver's side, passenger's side, and back. It comes equipped with an air horn, CB radio, fire extinguisher, and sticker labels for its lights, windshield wipers, and various gauges. Also included are a production acid spray tank, posters created to promote the exhibition, and posters from the film mounted throughout.
Following production, a hinged, folding plywood cover painted to resemble the acid sprayed onscreen was added for display. Additionally, the vehicle was repainted and rewired to repair electronics damaged or loosened during production. It also received full service, including to its injectors.
The odometer currently reads "47426," though no warranty is made or implied as to actual miles driven. Additionally, while this truck remains fully functional, no warranty is made or implied as to the lot's road-worthiness. Legal transfer of title will need to take place before its delivery can be arranged. As the vehicle is located in the United States, transportation and shipping quotes - including fluid drainage for international shipping - should be arranged with Propstore prior to bidding.
