Elon Musk Paid $1 Million For A 1976 Car That Inspired Cybertruck's Design – Seller Originally Bought It For Just $100 In A Storage Unit Sale

In 1989, a couple from Long Island took a chance on an unclaimed storage unit for just $100, as reported by a CNBC article. They didn't expect to find a piece of movie history tucked away under some old blankets – a 1976 Lotus Esprit, used in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.

The couple, who had no clue what they stumbled upon, initially planned to fix the car's roof and do some minor work. But while hauling it home, truckers on the road started radioing them, letting them know they had something much more valuable – a James Bond car. After hearing this, the husband rented the movie and realized they were sitting on a treasure.
