This auto museum is having an auction and its inventory is WILD

The Volo Auto Museum in Illinois recently had a "Corvette summer sale" where every Corvette for sale in their inventory was discounted. Just stop and think about how many Corvettes you'd need to have to justify a sale like that.

And that's just the tip of the chrome plated iceberg of what's up for grabs. Here's a quick tasting platter of what's on offer. Because it's SO much more than just Corvettes.

The sprawling site is located on 35 acres of old farmland just outside Chicago. It has 33 exhibits open to the public ranging in theme from TV and movie cars to Disney, military and aviation. It's such an eclectic mix of... stuff, that it's pretty much impossible to list everything here.

Anyway, the museum is getting a new exhibit, but before that can happen they need to clear some space from one of their storage rooms. So, they're holding an online, no reserve auction, and their inventory is pretty heckin' rad.

Here are a few of our favourites that we'd love to be bidding on.

Fast and Furious 7 Fast Attack

There are a lot of replica versions of TV cars up for sale, but this one is the real deal.

This off-road monster is one of three survivors from the filming of 'Furious 7'. You might recognise it from the bit where Jason Statham chases Vin Diesel down the side of a mountain. The bit after they took the cars skydiving. Remember when those movies were about stealing DVD players from trucks? Good times.

The Fast Attack is powered by a 5.3-litre LS engine that hauls the custom off-roader. Unfortunately (and probably obviously) it wasn't built to be used on the street. So, don't plan on driving it to work, even though it does still run!

So, if you ever wanted to feel like Jason Statham but can't commit to spending 23 hours a day in the gym, then this might be the purchase for you.

Natalie Wood's Buick Riviera

The 1963 Buick Riviera was General Motors' first attempt at a personal luxury vehicle, a car that emphasised comfort and style over practicality.

So, it makes sense that such a status image would be owned by one of the biggest Hollywood stars of the period, Natalie Wood.

If you're unsure how you know the name Natalie Wood, it's probably from one of the many classic movies she starred in, including: 'Rebel Without a Cause', 'West Side Story', 'The Searchers', 'Splendor in the Grass' (I know! It's not just a festival, I was surprised too!) and the original 'Miracle on 34th Street' (turns out it was remade a LOT).

You might also know her name because her death is one of Hollywood's more well-known mysteries. Wood tragically drowned in the early 1980s while on a weekend boat trip with her husband Robert Wagner, the boat's captain Dennis Davern and Christopher Walken who was co-starring with her in the film 'Brainstorm'. The case is too big to get into here, but you should give the Wiki a look.

According to the Volo website, they've had the car for nearly 20 years and it's in good original condition.

Knight Rider Super Pursuit Mode

Super Pursuit mode was a feature added to KITT for the final season of the original Knight Rider series.

It transformed KITT into a, uh, faster KITT? I guess? I don't know, at this point it's best not to think too much about the logic of 'Knight Rider'.

The transformation was filmed using multiple stunt cars. Because the transformation took a lot of mechanics to make happen, most of the interior of the first stunt car had to be stripped out. Transformation scenes were filmed on this car and all the driving scenes were done on a second stunt car where the results of the transformation were done through body work on the car.

The car up for auction is a third production car that was never used for filming. It was built by Jay Orberg through Barris Kustoms, the company started by George Barris, the guy who designed pretty much every famous movie car you've heard of.

According to Volo, this is possibly the only Super Pursuit Mode KITT in existence, as the other stunt cars are – well, non-existent. So, if you've ever wanted to embrace your inner 'Hoff, this could be the time to do so.

DRAG-U-LA Coffin Car

If you're not a child of the '60s you probably mostly know 'The Munsters' from pop-culture references in other shows. like this one:

To summarise the show, think 'The Brady Bunch' meets golden age horror movies. Yeah, the '60s were weird, man.

The DRAG-U-LA was one of two cars used on the show, designed by, you guessed it, George Barris. The other was the Munster Koach, a hot rod built off a 1926 Model T.

This DRAG-U-LA wasn't the one used in the filming of the show, BUT it was custom built for Eddie Munster himself, Butch Patrick. It was used to tour the United States, so you can actually drive it. I assume not to McDonald's Drive Thru or anything, but still.

It has a 400 horsepower Chevy engine and a TH350 transmission. It's also autographed by Patrick and Pat Priest who played Marilyn Munster, the only non-monstrous member of the family. So even though it was never on camera, it's still a piece of Hollywood history.

The Mystery Machine (GMC Handi-Van)

According to Volo this one is street legal!

The museum would use this replica (yeah, it's not a cartoon come to life. I know, I'm disappointed too) to promote the museum.

The 1966 GMC Handi-Van has a modern 305 small block engine, it's an auto, it has rear seats for passengers, stereo, amp and sub-woofers.

It's just as groovy on the inside as it is on the outside. Except for the portraits of the characters inside which... I mean, I don't want to use the word "bootleg", but, well, see for yourself.

Aside from that, if you've ever dreamed of moving to the United States and driving around in a van solving mysteries, here's your chance.

This... uh... thing

According to the website it's a 1968 Sno Sled Snow Plane, or what I can only assume is otherwise known as "express ticket to the morgue".

It was built in North Dakota it was used to run power lines (seems dangerous, but okay). According to the previous seller it's one of five built and the only known to still exist (danger). They were all given individual names, this one is called "Killer Bee" (DANGER! Seriously, it's like they're not trying to hide it).

It's powered by a 1600cc Volkswagen engine and a propeller. According to the website, two years before the museum bought it the previous owner took it out on a frozen lake and got it up to about 113km/h.

Again, look at this thing. Now picture flying over a layer of ice at freeway speed and tell me that's not terrifying.

Full Throttle Arm Chair

This is one of multiple arm chairs designed to promote the Full Throttle energy drink back in 2005.

They were drag raced by NASCAR drivers Michael Waltrip and Greg Biffle at the 47th Daytona 500 in the "Full Throttle Armchair Challenge", which might just be the most 'Murican sentence of all time.

They're capable of hitting over 60km/h, they've got an electric starter, reverse function and they're even automatic, for all you extreme couch surfers who never learned to drive manual (or 'stick' in 'Murican)

Honourable mentions

1981 DeLorean Time Machine - not screen used, but an official and autographed member of the Barris Star Car Collection.

Michael Jackson Soul Train - designed and built by Jay Ohrberg.

Bugs Bunny Fantasy Car - also by Jay Ohrberg. It actually drives! (would you believe it's mostly VW Beetle?)

1972 Lincoln Town Car - the hero car used in the filming of American Gangster

2001 Ford E 250 - Used in 'Spider-man: Homecoming' as the bad guys' getaway van.
