los angeles — the blue nissan skyline from the spring blockbuster movie fast & furious has been stolen from a storage facility in sun valley, los angeles.

the vehicle, which was raced by paul walker in the film, was actually a skyline gt-s model dressed up to look like a turbocharged gt-r. it took professional driver chris milano two years to piece together the car that was stolen in a mere 10 minutes.

thieves first busted through a metal door late monday night and proceeded to steal only the skyline. they sideswiped a studebaker and a porsche boxster on their way out, and even attempted to bump another vehicle out of the way before finally driving off. considering the nissan was the only car touched, it is assumed that someone knew it was inside.

the car was completely restored after officer brian o connor was last in the driver seat, and is estimated to have a value of $75,000. it was not insured because it was only being used for show and promotional purposes.

inside line says: hopefully the thieves are found before the car is parted out. until then, someone owes chris milano a 10-second car. — mike lysaght, correspondent
