About The Hunt For The Stolen Aston Martin DB5: Updated
On June 19, 1997, the original Aston Martin DB5 from the Goldfinger movie (1964) was stolen from a private hangar at Boca Raton Airport in Florida, U.S. The car was never retrieved and, perhaps worse, the case never solved: with no eyewitnesses and no clues left behind, including no signs of forced entry, it was as if it had simply disappeared into thin air. That car was chassis number DP/216/1, one of the two DB5s driven by Sean Connery in the film. It was also “the effects car,” so it had all the features and the gear shown in the film, in addition to being fully functional. The other one, the “road car,” was a basic Aston Martin. When it was stolen, DP/216/1 had been in the ownership of Hollywood memorabilia collector Anthony Pugliese III, who had bought it 1986 for $250,000 and instantly insured it for 16 times its value. Prior to that, it had belonged to various collectors, with its value and celebrity status increasing with each new transaction.
