Fans of the "Furious 7" movie should give up all hope in acquiring any of the cars used during the filming of the movie. All the cars used in the film were sent into a junk yard to be completely destroyed, according to The Wall Street Journal.

As the publication noted, completely destroying cars used in filming certain movies is a common practice in Hollywood in order to avoid lawsuits. The decision to destroy the "Furious 7" cars came from the filmmakers who fear that some of the fans might track those cars, restore them and end up being badly injured due to the cars unsafe driving conditions. 

For ardent fans of the "Furious 7," there is some silver lining to this news as three cars used in the film are going to be displayed at the Universal Studios in Orlando. The display will include the 1973 Plymouth Roadrunner, the 1973 Plymouth Roadrunner Barracuda and the Fast Attack. The cars will be on display until late July.

Passionate fans of the "Fast and Furious" series also has the chance to get their hands on some of the cars that the late Paul Walker drove from the series' fourth movie installment. Sources has yet to confirm which car will be sold but a lot of rumors surface that it should fetch a price tag between $844,000 up to $5.5 million, according to Boston.

The "Furious 7" opened on April 4 and is the last installment of the highly-loved franchise. The film's increased hype was pointed to the death of Walker who plays one of the leading protagonist. Walker died on a car crash which was not related to the filming of the movie.
