Missouri Man Selling Car Crash on eBay
Published April 15th, 2006
A Missouri man hopes to recoup some of the money he sank into his car by auctioning off advertising rights to it on eBay — then hurtling the car off a cliff.
Will Stuckenberg of Joplin posted the idea on the popular auction Web site two days ago. Ten bids have driven the value to over $500.
Stuckenberg said he’s spent more than $2,600 rebuilding the engine, buying new tires and doing other repair work on his 1997 Dodge Neon. But on April 29, he plans to send it off a 150-foot cliff near Paintball Ridge.
Stuckenberg said he would probably only get $1,200 if he sold it, so he thought auctioning off the spectacle could earn even more money.
The winning bidder will receive a video of the feat and before-and-after photographs.
