Just how big of a are you? Would you say you’re a big enough fan to spend nearly $200,000 on a prop? Yes? Well, that’s great then, because I’ve got just the thing for you at a deal you just can’t refuse. Behold, Tony Soprano’s 2003 ESV.

It’s for sale, and it can be yours for a . To me, a person who cannot dream of that much money, it’s a small price to pay for the right collector. I mean, The Sopranos is the greatest TV show of all time.

Anyway, what we’ve got here is Tony’s white over tan Cadillac. He bought it on the show in the middle of Season 5 after totaling his first black Escalade an episode prior. Unfortunately, neither of these cars are as iconic as the maroon 1999 Chevy Suburban he drove for most of the show’s run. Regardless, this SUV is still very cool.

The seller, of Pipersville, Pennsylvania, claims they have all the proper documentation proving that this was indeed Tony’s truck. If that’s not enough for you, there are a handful of signatures on the interior from the late James Gandolfini – the man behind Tony.

This Escalade even comes with the fake New Jersey 42Q-VLT license plate on the front and back. That right there is a nice touch, if ya ask me.

Even though this Escalade was used on one of the most popular TV shows ever, it’s actually been driven. Whoever buys it will be the seventh owner of the truck, and they’ll be adding to the nearly 111,000 miles on the odometer. However, it seems to have done just 1,000 miles in the past three years. That’s really no big deal though. I mean, at the end of the day it’s a GMT800 truck, so it’ll run forever.

With a 6.0-liter GM V8 it’ll have enough power to catch just about anyone (Phil Leotardo) in a car chase while listening to dad rock.

The Escalade was originally purchased by the show’s production company in May of 2003 at Brogan Cadillac in Totowa, New Jersey. I choose to believe that this is cannon for the show and that is actually where Tony bought the car. It was owned by the company until it was sold to its first non-commercial owner in 2009.

See, this is where the cannon gets a bit tricky. If you are a smart person (which you are since you are reading this article) you know it as an undisputed fact that Tony got absolutely blasted at Holstens in 2007, so unless Carmela held onto the truck for a couple of years after Tony’s death, the timeline just doesn’t add up. Sorry, sorry I’m getting carried away.

The truck has lived all over the country. After it was first bought in New Jersey, it was sold to someone in California, then Virginia for three owners (weird) before finally making it back to the northeast where it was registered in Rhode Island.

So, if you’ve always wanted to have a bit of Sopranos history to call your very own, now is your chance. I’ll see you guys later. I’m gonna start a rewatch right now.

Jalopnik Reviews: 2006 Dodge Magnum R/T, Part 2
Exterior Design **** I'm givin' it a four, mainly because I like the Charger's angry-eyebrows front end more than the wide-eyed, vaguely phallic nose of the Magnum. And of course, the 300's the best of the bunch. That said, I really dig the choptop styling of all the LX cars,...

Jalopnik Reviews: 2006 Dodge Magnum R/T, Part 1
I just saw a guy at a stoplight in a Dodge Magnum with a bad billet grille and a set of overwrought dubs. He looked as if he may earn additional income by starring in bear porn flicks: shaved head, prematurely gray, bushy handlebar mustache, etc. I glanced down at...

Jalopnik Reviews: 2006 Jeep Commander, Part 2
Just what the world needs: a large, gas-guzzling SUV with all the aerodynamic efficiency of a flying brick. Why didn t I think of that? Our tester s 4.7-liter V8 didn t have enough to power to motivate this 5273 lbs. behemoth into anything remotely resembling a sprint. Sixty comes...

So I was heading toward the new Commander when a-million-miles-from-MILF Mommy commandeers me. "Is that the new Jeep?" she asks, cutting off my escape route. Oh crap. She gazes at the Commander s ungainly form like a crutch-wielding supplicant encountering a vision of The Mother Mary polishing the cross at...

Jalopnik Reviews: 2006 Honda Civic, Part 3
Because you collect Star Wars memorabilia. Either that or you appreciate all the traditional Civic virtues — practicality, frugality, reliability, comfort, value, invisibility, etc. — and want something relatively slow that handles like a go-kart. The view from the driver s seat is on the disco side of disconcerting: an...

V-8 boeuf, solid handling, decent hauling capacity. If you're a family of four or less with at least one enthusiast driver in the mix, the Magnum should definitely be on your list of potential buys. A minivan, an SUV or a luxury car it isn't. For the same money there...
