Ready to fly. The 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' car from the 1968 Disney film will be auctioned Sunday in Beverly Hills. For sale: custom vintage auto with Hollywood pedigree. Three-liter V-6 engine, polished aluminum hood, serpent horn, wings. Has history of issues with exhaust system.
The car was built in 1967 for the central role in the film, which was rather loosely based on Ian Fleming's childrens' novel Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car â the film script was a collaboration between the remarkable Roald Dahl and the film's director, Ken Hughes and differed markedly from the novel.
