DENVER (KDVR) — A car museum with movie props and replicas is being replaced with an apartment and hotel in Englewood — but before the museum doors close, it's auctioning off some of its renowned memorabilia.

Rodz & Bodz Museum has a rotating exhibit of more than 300 movie and television show cars, with anything from on-screen vehicles to movie replicas. For the past four years, it's hosted iconic cars and Hollywood celebrities, but soon, it's closing its building on Englewood Parkway.

After many beloved local restaurants close, here’s what people will miss the most

Zack Loffert, the owner of the museum, said he decided to close the museum on Aug. 3, hopefully a temporary decision, after he couldn't find a permanent home.

Loffert said he had to move the museum multiple times since it opened in 2020. After opening in the Colorado Mills Mall, they moved to Greeley once their lease was up. After staying in Greeley for a short period of time, they reopened in Englewood this October.

Then, about a month or two after moving, Loffert said the city approved a new, five-story apartment building and a hotel in the museum's location. After looking through buildings with rents ranging from $50,000 to $70,000 a month, he wanted something permanent, but still hasn't found it yet.

The museum is closing in less than a month, but not without one last hurrah.

A two-day auction is taking place online and in person on Aug. 22 and 23. During the auction, Loffert said there will be 463 items total, with a mix of about 60 cars, signs, gas pumps and other pieces of Colorado history, like the original 20-foot Denver Diner neon sign on Colfax Avenue.

But out of all the items up for auction, Loffert thinks one of the best sellers will be the screen-used Charger from "Fast and Furious."

"It's kind of cool because it's the last time, like, for people that visit, the last time that this collection will ever be together like it is," said Loffert.

The auction isn't the end for the museum. Loffert said they have 180 cars total, and they're keeping the rest in warehouses until they can find a permanent space. They're looking into Commerce City or Douglas County for their next space to open in about a year, but it will look a little different.

Loffert said the next spot will be more immersive, and it will be set up like 30 different movie sets.
