HUNTERSVILLE, N.C.,None — Thank you for voting on wsoctv.com sports. What Do You Think Of The Sale Of Dale Earnhardt's Hearse? What do you think of the sale of Dale Earnhardt's hearse on eBay? Genius Tacky Disgusting
The hearse that carried Dale Earnhardt Sr. to his final resting place is up for auction on eBay.
On Feb. 21, 2001, a 1996 Lincoln Town Car hearse took the Intimidator from his funeral to his final resting place in Huntersville.
It can be yours for a mere $1.5 million … yes, that is right $1.5 MILLION.
The eBay listing states that the car has 115,679 miles and "was the last ride of Dale Earnhardt Sr."
The auction ends Tuesday and so far there are no bids … shocking. The seller, chmark1968, has a zero rating on eBay, with no previous sales.
• Earnhardt Intent On Making 2011 A Success
According to Jalopnik.com, the original owner, Bill McKeithan, put the car up for sale on Craigslist while watching the Daytona 500 a couple weeks ago as a tribute to the 10th anniversary of Earnhardt's death.
The car sold within seven hours for $8,800.
The new owner put it up on eBay this week with a slight markup.
Earnhardt died in a last-lap crash during the 2001 Daytona 500. He was inducted into the inaugural class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2010.
UPDATE: As of 11 a.m. Thursday, the auction has been removed by eBay.
