Read More »In the 1986 version of “Top Gun,” Kelly McGillis’s character, “Charlie,” zoomed around San Diego in a black 1958 Porsche 356. But the little Speedster was actually a replica of the real thing, which is now worth more than $200,000 when in the best condition. Longtime Speedster replica maker Intermeccanica built Charlie’s ride at its headquarters in Canada. The hero car of “Top Gun: Maverick”needed no such stand-in. Instead, the 1973 Porsche 911 S that Jennifer Connelly owns as “Penny” is a numbers-matching original car. So is the ’73 911 E that director Joseph Kosinski used on camera as a backup model. “Penny sails fast boats, so I liked the idea that she drove a vintage Porsche as well,” Kosinski said in an email. “I think the 1973 911 S model is one of their most timeless designs.” Connelly herself—not a stunt double—drove the factory-correct Silver Metallic 911 S coupe. It was lent to the film by San Diego resident Nick Psyllos. A longtime collector, Psyllos has owned more than 10 Porsches, including a 1972 911 ST tribute car in tangerine orange.

Read More »The car has gained value relatively consistently over the years, with the average price of one in good condition up 9% in the past year. Examples in concours-level condition are worth $229,000, according to car insurance company Hagerty. A silver metallic one sold three weeks ago on Bring a Trailer for $214,412. “Top Gun: Maverick” may also confer an additional price bump on Psyllos’s specific car. Celebrity ownership of most cars does little to bolster their values, according to Johnathan Klinger, a Hagerty spokesperson, unless that celebrity is Elvis Presley or Marilyn Monroe. But a role in a James Bond film adds more than 1,000% to the value of a car compared with those that didn’t feature. Connelly and Cruise notwithstanding, the “Top Gun” 911 might fall somewhere in between the two. The 1970 Porsche 911 S used by Steve McQueen in the movie “Le Mans” sold for $1.375 million at a RM Sotheby’s auction in 2011, nearly 23 times what a similar car without screen time would have been worth. But the 1973 Porsche 911 S Coupe appearing in “Maverick” doesn’t have quite the same resonance as McQueen’s then-new 911, says John Wiley, manager of valuation analytics at Hagerty Automotive Intelligence. “It would likely follow the typical movie car multiple of 7 times,” Wiley says. That would still make it worth more than $1.25 million—a not insignificant sum for a little silver Porsche.
