The sequel to the action movie "xXx" opened in theaters April 29th, 2005. It is called "xXx: State of the Union" and stars a 1967 GTO. It co-stars Samuel L. Jackson, and Ice Cube (guy in the lower right). In the first two shots you can see that the GTO has been radically modified. The front lights tilt away and shoot rockets. In the middle right shot, you can see that the roof has been chopped. We have a whole parking lot full of pictures devoted to the first xXx movie in our xXx action movie memorabilia museum. The first xXx movie starred Vin Diesel and was set in Europe. For the sequel, they set it in the USA with a different cast, although some characters did return.CLICK-> 
  
Here is the xXx State of the Union GTO. It's painted Dupont Chromallusion which is priced at $800 a quart. There were three of these built for the movie. One - the stunt car was crashed. Two - the hero car was used for driving shots. Three - this one was used for the interior shots. All three cars were actually made from 1967 LeMans hardtops. The car was designed by Harald Belker and built by Ted Moser of Picture Car Warehouse in Los Angeles, California. This car first sold at auction for over $45K. Then in February of 2006, it sold on eBay for only $25,100 with 38 bids. In October of 2007, it was again seen on ebay. The reserve was not met with bids of $32,900.CLICK-> 
The Dupont Chromallusion paint changes from a red orange to purple blue hues. The GTO is all metal except for the fiberglass flares and ground effects. The headlights are created from six Piaa lights. The door handles are shaved. It has both inside door handles and solenoids to open the doors. This "xXx" movie car rides on a set of 20 inch TIS chrome rims.CLICK-> 
From this view the car is a deep shade of blue.CLICK->

The front of the xXx State of the Union GTO has tall slotted grilles similar in design to the rear tail light panel.CLICK->

The interior in the xXx State of the Union GTO is equally customized. It has custom gauges, monitors, and Sparko seats. It has power windows and working ice cold A/C in the car, probably for the actors.CLICK->

Here is a close-up of some of the gauges and monitors. Very detailed work, unlike the interior in the first xXx GTO. The first movie car had more gadgets, but some were just zip-tied to the dashboard.CLICK-> 
It also has custom rear seats.CLICK-> 
View of the engine inside the xXx State of the Union GTO. That is a 350ci Chevy engine with a 4 barrel carb. The GTO also has an automatic transmission, power steering, power four wheel Wilwood
disc brakes with cross drilled rotors, and air bag suspension in the rear. It does not have fender liners.CLICK->

Ryan Treadway spotted this purple 1967 LeMans with a GTO hood. Ryan tells us more, "This LeMans has been sitting in the police impound lot for a long time. I talked to a mechanic that works there and I think it was drug related. 'Hey, there's our crack dealer in his purple Pontiac.'" I didn't know Vin Diesel was dealin crack.CLICK-> 
Ryan Treadway spotted this 1967 GTO parked on a street in Dayton, Ohio. The front window decal says, "GTO." The rear window decal says, "Princess." Strange. |
