Vehicle description
The 1973 Ford Econoline four-wheel-drive supervan is built as a tribute to the van driven by the character Sonny Hayes (played by actor Brad Pitt) in the 2025 film "F1: The Movie." It is powered by a Ford 302 V8 engine paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. It incorporates exterior and interior elements modeled after the production vehicle used onscreen, including the two-tone high-top configuration, accessory props and features associated with the film's hero van. The four-wheel-drive setup mirrors the stance and capability depicted in the movie, and the exterior presentation includes the mounted surfboard and moto-style bike representative of the screen-used design. The interior has been finished in a camper-style layout consistent with the film reference, incorporating wood paneling, a fold-down bed, compact sink, mini fridge and racing-style decor to replicate the production van's appearance. This tribute reflects the configuration of the primary movie van, one of four built for filming, with the hero vehicle displayed at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed and currently on loan to the Petersen Automotive Museum. All props shown with the van, including interior and exterior accessories and the Brad Pitt APXGP cutout, are included with the purchase.
