Brokeback Mountain Truck Sells For Over $60,000

The Brokeback Mountain shirts sold for over $100,000 and now a 1950 GMC truck used in the movie has sold for over $60,000. The owner of the truck, who is only 16, plans to use the profits to fund his college education. He had purchased the truck, which was driven by Jake Gyllenhaal in the movie, at an auction after the film was made.

Brokeback Mountain Truck on eBay

We already showed you the Brokeback Mountain shirts, now the 1950 GMC pickup used in the movie is for sale. The black truck was driven by Jake Gyllenhaal and is seen during several scenes in the movie. The truck has its original engine and is in good running condition. It was bought from High Meadow Productions who handled transportation for the movie.  The interior was restored for the movie and has a brown leather bench seat with black dash.  So far bidding has been light compared to the frenzy over the Brokeback shirts and the auction ends on March 30.

Brokeback Shirts Sell For Over $100,000

We mentioned the heated auction for Jack's shirts from Brokeback Mountain a few weeks ago. The auction closed on February 20 and the shirts sold for $101,100.51. Gay.com has an interview with the winner, collector Tom Gregory. Gregory is the life partner of David Bohnett, founder of GeoCities and the head of the David Bohnett foundation. In the interview, Gregory says he will never separate the shirts and he won't let anyone try them on.
