John Z. Delorean and Pontiac: two names lost to the vagaries of time but which still live on through their sometimes awkward, sometimes brilliant progeny. Today, one car up for auction ties both legacies together in one surprisingly impressive package: the 1964 Pontiac XP-833 Banshee prototype. And it's up for sale on eBay. Born of the desire for a Pontiac-branded Mustang competitor, the rakishly styled Banshee paired bulging fenders with sports car proportions to yield a silhouette that seems part Camaro, and part C3 Corvette, with perhaps just a touch of Opel GT thrown in for good measure...

The original Fast and the Furious movie was pretty decent. Sure, it had the odd cheesy line (“I live life a quarter mile at a time”), but it’s safe to say most car fans would have enjoyed it. With the release of the next two flicks, quality started to slide and the cars simply got lamer. So much so that by the end of Tokyo Drift it seemed pretty safe to assume that the franchise was well and truly dead. Now the fourth instalment is out and some of the cred of the first movie has been restored and once again there are a series of modified rides that are no longer needed...
