A Canadian teen
who bought a 1950 pickup truck used in Brokeback
Mountain at an auction after filming has sold that
same truck for $60,000 on eBay, reports the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation. The truck, driven by Jake
Gyllenhaal's Jack Twist character, was sold by Matthew
Kennedy, 16, who plans to use the money to pay for
college and to buy another similar truck. "I thought
I'd hang on to it because I really didn't know very much
about the movie," Kennedy said about his purchase of
the truck. "I didn't know that it was going to be this
big." Shirts worn by Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger in
the film garnered more than $100,000 in a charity
auction. (The Advocate)
