  1. I got this spectacularly wrong, multiplying by 28.35 grams per ounce rather than dividing. This would've been $4M in 1966, or $40M in 2024.

    At the current $970/ounce price for platinum, $17M.

  3. Ok, this piece mentions a 720lb test load for a handling test a factory 1965 Olds Vista Cruiser Wagon passed with ease, so it is feasible that this could handle 1,100 lbs if it were done right.

  4. The historic price of platinum in 1966 seems to be about $225/ounce. Back then, this heist would've been $3.2B, or roughly $32B today.

    That same amount of platinum would be worth $13.75B at today's price of $970/ounce.

  5. I'm not certain that station wagon can handle 20 55-lb (25kg) containers, even with the back seat removed. That thing's gonna need better suspension.

  6. I guess the scene where Gu is introduced on the day of both established that they planned and show's Gu's savvy by the tarp recommendation.

  7. I wonder if you have to be middle-aged, or over the hill and picking up speed, to really appreciate the chemistry between Christine Fabréga and Lino Ventura in that scene in Gu's safehouse. You believe they've known each other since they were kids stealing hubcaps or whatever. You see the buried guilt, the forgiveness. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #Noirvember #LaDeuxiemeSouffle #SecondWind

  8. For a split second I thought “that’s an obscene amount of butter to eat” then I remembered that if you could be killed or incarcerated at any second you may as well live it up
