Twenty-three Ford Mustangs and four cars from the movie August: Osage County will be featured at Leake Auction Company’s sale June 6-8 in the River Spirit Expo at Expo Square in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Among some 750 classic and collector cars and other vehicles offered at the auction will be vehicles featured in the 2013 movie that starred Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, Juliette Lewis and Dermot Mulroney.

The movie, set in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, is a dark comedy about a gathering of a dysfunctional family drawn together by the disappearance of the family patriarch. There were four cars shown — a Pontiac Bonneville, a Honda, a Lincoln Town Car and a Ford pickup truck — which are being sold by a Tulsa resident who worked as a stunt double in the film.

Leake reports that all of the movie cars are drivable, but they have been wrapped to appear old and beat-up.

Among the Mustangs featured in the auction will be a 1965 convertible, a 1968 Shelby GT500 KR, a 1968 Stryker coupe (painted as a tribute to the U.S. Armed Forces), a 1970 Boss 302 and a 2014 GT500.

Other featured vehicles include a customized 1956 GMC pickup, a customized 1957 Chevrolet Nomad, a 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190SL and a 1970 Plymouth ’Cuda.
