Watch any of the Paul Walker-era Fast & Furious movies, and you will see a lot of cars driving very fast, all the time. But one of the cars owned by the Californian actor has resurfaced, and apparently it hasn't been driven very much at all. The American supercar was unearthed in a Missouri dealership in pristine condition and with an incredibly low mileage. It is also extremely rare, and slightly forgotten in the world of hypercars. Paul Walker Had An Extensive Car Collection RP ExoticsThe late Paul Walker is an icon in the world of automobiles. The late actor, who started out as a surfer kid, became synonymous with fast, tuned JDM cars when 2001's The Fast and the Furious burst into movie theaters. Later in life, Walker amassed a serious car collection (with fewer stripes and nitrous bottles). His love of cars was eclectic, with everything from a 1973 Porsche 911 RS 2.7 to an E36 BMW M3 Lightweight residing in his garage. But there was one lesser-known American supercar that was bought by Walker — although he didn't drive it much. Paul Walker's Saleen S7 Has Surfaced In A Missouri Dealership You get some pretty cool car spots in Reddit's r/carspotting, but it looked like user Efficient-Tone-5433 had hit the jackpot when they stumbled across a Saleen S7 owned by Paul Walker in a Missouri dealership. The car looks as good as the day it left the Saleen factory, and even seems to sport an original signature by Steve Saleen, the former racing driver who founded the company. Further rummaging on the internet reveals that the silver 2003 car is now up for sale, with a price tag of $984,995. The mileage is incredibly low, suggesting that neither Walker or anyone else got to enjoy the car much. The odometer currently reads just 1,800 miles. The Saleen Is A Rare Find Any Day Of The Week RP ExoticsThe carbon fiber-bodied Saleen S7 was launched in 2000. Prior to the S7, Saleen had made its name with fast Ford Mustangs. The S7 was designed and built entirely in North America, and features a Saleen-designed 7.0-liter naturally aspirated V8. Output is 550 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, which is enough to send it to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, 100mph in 7.1 seconds, and on to an estimated 220 mph.In 2005, the S7 received a pair of Garrett turbochargers that pushed power up to 750 hp, with the top speed rising to 248 mph. According to Hagerty Valuation Tools, a 2003 Saleen S7 has a good condition price of $377,000, so this Walker-owned example has a lot of value built into its unique history. With less than 100 S7s ever built, they don't come along very often either.Sources: Hagerty.com
