AOLJU ◊ 2017-04-22 20:15	Absolutely beautiful car used in an awesome chase scene. Too bad it gets so damaged. It would be interesting to know how many Mustangs were used in the movie. In the fiction, the car still runs after all the crashes it's involved in, but I'm quite sure that they needed more than one car for the filming. -- Last edit: 2017-04-22 20:18:22

antp ◊ 2022-04-21 11:42	It seems that at least once survived, bought by Movie Cars Central: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZYKgJf6SPw (with the damage on the rear left)

Factory options included a 3.25 Traction-Lok rear axle, FMX Select Shift automatic transmission, power front disc brakes, and power steering—details verified by the accompanying Marti Report. Later acquired by Jerry Immersi for the production of John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017), the car was extensively modified for stunt work, including the installation of a roof-mounted driving rig for precision camera coordination and complex chase choreography. When the first stunt Mustang was destroyed during the failed warehouse jump, this car was adapted—its roof rig removed—and used to complete the successful take seen in the final cut of the film. It also appears in subsequent chase scenes, identifiable by its missing driver's door and visible continuity damage. Mechanically, it remains a genuine M-code Mach 1 with its original 351ci V8 engine, reinforced chassis, and roll-caged interior. Visible traces of filming, including screw holes on the roof, underbody rig mounts, and subtle production reinforcements, all confirm its direct use on set. This authentic 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is one of the most significant surviving stunt vehicles from John Wick: Chapter 2, directly linked to Keanu Reeves and the franchise's most memorable opening sequence. Offered with its Marti Report, Certificate of Authenticity from Jerry Immersi, exported US title, and 846A customs document. Although previously driven across the United States by the Movie Cars Central team, the car will require recommissioning before road use: the oil pan (a new replacement is supplied) must be installed, and the front suspension realigned following impact sustained during filming.
