RR Auction executive vice president Robert Livingston calls the Cadillac an 'instantly recognizable prop' from the acclaimed show.

No information was provided about the buyer, who paid $119,780.

A 1999 Chevrolet Suburban from the show's first four seasons previously sold for $110,000.

RR Auction says on its website: 'This Escalade represented Tony’s personal car and primary means of transportation, frequently used to show him going to and from his own driveway, meetings with members of the New York families, and the notorious landmarks of the Sopranos' fictional universe like the Bada Bing strip club and Satriale's Pork Store.

'This vehicle was also utilized in action sequences including the infamous chase from season five in which Tony, angrily trying to collect a debt, drives Phil Leotardo off the road and into a parked car.'

Another 2003 Cadillac Escalade ESV was also used, the website reveals.
