1965 Imperial Before Green Hornet (Black Beauty) Rebuild? *see description, need help*

Did my car get used in the movie!?
Funny Story. I sold this car last year (?), to a very nice man who came up from L.A. When he came and picked her up, he already had another one on the trailer.
I was told their is an article saying that when they bought the 25-29 cars used for the new Green Hornet movie, that two came from Redding, CA. If anybody runs across that article/magazine, please put a link in the comments.
I'd like to have a copy for my car scrap book if its true. I would love to think mine was one of the 25, regardless of what they did to her. Its just awesome to think that someone really did something great with her. :)
To the nice man who bought her: I am very thankful to you. The money I got from selling her has put me through school and it helped me to buy a 67 Barracuda for my Automotive Tech Degree Project. I'll post a video of its "Frankenstein-ing" soon. :) So, thank you. :)
Also thanks to anyone who has bothered to read this far. ;)
Mopar or no car!

@ Barmtrail: this car already sold, it's possible i sold it for the movie. (see description). The plate cover wasn't from a dealer, it says, "official car of the mafia". But it's probably as old as the car. :)

@Liloldcricketbug why did you sell it,why not keep and restore her and take her to shows and be proud owner??????????????????

[Liloldcricketbug]

@sugarcube711 Had to. Needed the money to buy a project car for college. I really don't regret it. I love my new Barracuda! I did love this car, but I like cars that you can play with, this baby was the "Don't touch" car. I figured it would be in better hands with someone who was more mature with their cars.

don't trust NADA quotes

[Liloldcricketbug]

Oh I know. I just used it as a guideline. That's why I listed the car well under that. As an example of their mistakes, NADA says the MSRP was $5709. According to the car, it was $8000.00 new in 1965.

I don't think I have ever seen one in real life. White leather...sigh* sounds sweet. :)

that would be nice if the movie idiots kept the car i bet you it was one of the ones that was exploded apparently. thats a shame when get older with some more money id like to own a crown sedan or lebaron sedan. its scrwed up that the movie idiots think nothing of how rare the car is. so many wasted just for one movie. mopar or no car! P.S. its like the movie christine all over again!

What a tragic end to a beautiful classic. I hate how Hollywood movies destroy dozens of great old cars just to make a single movie. :-(

If it went to be used in the movie it is scrap by now. "Pretty car." Yeah well it's trash now.

Also, Mythbusters trashed a few more for good measure in their "Green Hornet" special. UGH!

If that isn't bad enough, the demo derby guys will finish off the last of these cars. BASATRDS!!

It's sad how people can ruin the history of these beautiful pieces of artwork.

This car just went way up in value because of the green hornet movie. Where did you find this car? Family?

Is that a california plate i see on the back? Looks like it still has the dealer frame. WOW!!
