I have stumbled upon, and purchased, one of the vehicles that was in the movie Thinner. It is the blue and white (in the movie) panel truck that gets shot up. My original plan was to restore this vehicle to normal condition. But my gut says that this may be something worth looking into before I fix it. It still has the "bullet" holes in the side, as well as the tape and wiring inside from the explosives used for the effect. I'm just trying to get a feel for if there is any value to it, or if it's just an old truck and I'm safe to treat it as such. Any info or opinions would be great

Wasn't there a thread started some months ago by the guy who bought the front piece of the Green Goblin truck from Maximum Overdrive? He takes it around to car shows and charges folks to have their picture taken with it.
