Insurer Offering Reward For Recovery Of Stolen James Bond ’Goldfinger’ Aston Martin DB5
Thursday, August 19th, 2021 Auto FraudA major movie mystery could soon be solved. Not on screen, but in the real world of stolen art.
In a theft fitting of a spy thriller, one of the two gadget-filled 1964 Aston Martin DB5s featured in the James Bond films "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball" disappeared from a hangar at Boca Raton airport in 1997.
The silver coupe was spirited away without a trace, leading some investigators to believe it had been flown away by a cargo plane or even a small drug-running plane that quickly dropped in to pick it up.
The car had been purchased at auction in 1986 for $275,000 by real estate developer Anthony Pugliese, but was insured for $4.2 million at the time of the heist, which is roughly what the other car was auctioned for in 2010.
