Obamamobile Goes Up on Ebay - Million Dollar Wheels

President-Elect Obama's Chrysler 300CIn case you haven't heard, President-Elect Obama's Chrysler 300C is so famous, it's got its own website. It's also up for auction on Ebay, starting at $100,000. If you've ever wanted to cruise the block with Barack, well ... let's face it, this is probably as close as you're ever going to get. So, if you can afford it, this stylish and historically significant ride can be yours for an ultra-low 'Buy it Now' price of $1 million. They'll even throw in the warranty for free.

That's right, some dude bought Obama's Chrysler 300 after the then presidential candidate traded it in for a more politically-savvy Ford Escape Hybrid. Now this guy's hocking it on eBay and promising that he will donate a percentage of the proceeds to charity. What percentage, we wonder?

So, is there anything special about this car except that the soon to be President of the USA might have spilled some coffee in the cup holder? Nope. In fact, it's really not pimped out at all. The fairly standard features include: leather upholstery, GPS navigation, a sunroof, and it's still under the manufacturer's warranty. Oh yeah, and it's a HEMI.

It looks like the Obamamobile will join the list of notable celebrity vehicles sold on eBay, such as: Pope John Paul's Ford Escort (sold for $700k) and the infamous General Lee from Dukes of Hazard (bringing in almost $10 million). Bidding ends on February 25th.
