Now’s Your Likelihood to Purchase Tony Soprano’s Cadillac Escalade

Simply how massive of a Sopranos fan are you? Would you say you’re a large enough fan to spend almost $200,000 on a prop? Sure? Effectively, that’s nice then, as a result of I’ve obtained simply the factor for you at a deal you simply can’t refuse. Behold, Tony Soprano’s 2003 Cadillac Escalade ESV.

It’s on the market, and it may be yours for a $175,000 asking value. To me, an individual who can not dream of that a lot cash, it’s a small value to pay for the suitable collector. I imply, The Sopranos is the best TV present of all time.

Anyway, what we’ve obtained right here is Tony’s white over tan Cadillac Escalade. He purchased it on the present in the course of Season 5 after totaling his first black Escalade an episode prior. Sadly, neither of those automobiles are as iconic because the maroon 1999 Chevy Suburban he drove for a lot of the present’s run. Regardless, this SUV continues to be very cool.

The vendor, Import 1 Motorsport of Pipersville, Pennsylvania, claims they’ve all the correct documentation proving that this was certainly Tony’s truck. If that’s not sufficient for you, there are a handful of signatures on the inside from the late James Gandolfini – the person behind Tony.

This Escalade even comes with the pretend New Jersey 42Q-VLT license plate on the back and front. That proper there’s a good contact, if ya ask me.

Though this Escalade was used on one of the vital well-liked TV exhibits ever, it’s really been pushed. Whoever buys it is going to be the seventh proprietor of the truck, they usually’ll be including to the almost 111,000 miles on the odometer. Nonetheless, it appears to have completed simply 1,000 miles prior to now three years. That’s actually no massive deal although. I imply, on the finish of the day it’s a GMT800 truck, so it’ll run eternally.

With a 6.0-liter GM V8 it’ll have sufficient energy to catch nearly anybody (Phil Leotardo) in a automobile chase whereas listening to dad rock.

The Escalade was initially bought by the present’s manufacturing firm in Might of 2003 at Brogan Cadillac in Totowa, New Jersey. I select to consider that that is cannon for the present and that’s really the place Tony purchased the automobile. It was owned by the corporate till it was bought to its first non-commercial proprietor in 2009.

See, that is the place the cannon will get a bit difficult. If you’re a wise particular person (which you might be since you might be studying this text) you realize it as an undisputed indisputable fact that Tony obtained completely blasted at Holstens in 2007, so until Carmela held onto the truck for a few years after Tony’s dying, the timeline simply doesn’t add up. Sorry, sorry I’m getting carried away.

The truck has lived all around the nation. After it was first purchased in New Jersey, it was bought to somebody in California, then Virginia for 3 homeowners (bizarre) earlier than lastly making it again to the northeast the place it was registered in Rhode Island.

So, when you’ve at all times needed to have a little bit of Sopranos historical past to name your very personal, now’s your likelihood. I’ll see you guys later. I’m gonna begin a rewatch proper now.
