With only 1,000 special edition GT500’s scheduled for this year, there is bound to be drastic markup. It is worth pointing out that the Ford GT’s MSRP was roughly $155k, and for the same price you can get a BMW M3, a Mustang GT500, and one hell of a vacation. If money means little to you and you’re seriously thinking about shelling out $155k for this Shelby GT500KR, you won’t find out a whole lot of information on the eBay page. Part of the reason for that is because Lone Star Ford hasn’t yet taken delivery of the 540 hp Mustang that’s up for auction. It also explains why the dealer has a photo of a standard GT500 sticker instead of that of the $80k KR.

We’ve had too many opportunities to redefine the term “auto erotic” lately. As if the ongoing saga of FIA president Max Mosley’s alarming sexual encounters or the mating habits of exotic automobiles weren’t enough, here come the results of what could very well be the celebrity auto auction of the year: Jenna Jameson’s Lamborghini.

For those who pretend they don’t know who Jenna Jameson is, she’s perhaps the world’s most famous, er…”adult film star”. (We had to look it up on Wikipedia, of course.) While her clothes may be consistently a couple of sizes too small, it’s only fitting that the starlet should drive the most explicit erotic exotic supercar on the market: the Lamborghini Murcielago. It’s hard to believe she didn’t go topless this time — Jameson actually went for the coupe, which she bought in 2002. Since then, Jenna’s yellow Raging Bull has done 11,658 miles. In case there was any doubt that Jameson could handle a stick like a pro, the Lambo is equipped with a six-speed manual (instead of smacking it around with the paddles) and decked out in black leather (naturally) offset by blonde highlights (yellow topstitching). The car was advertised - *ahem*, tongue in cheek - as “extremely clean” and “ready to go”, and as our compatriots over at CarScoop pointed out, there’s a decent chance there’s some tread left on the tires. Complete with dual front airbags (hey-o!), the car sold on Friday for a video-on-demand Buy-It-Now price of $182,900 on eBay Motors.

Apparently all is not kosher in corn country. BMW of Lincoln, Nebraska posted an auction on eBay for a brand new M3 Sedan for $60,000. Perhaps they were hoping for the kind of eBay madness that would push the price to six figures (something other dealers are doing right on the show floor). If that’s what they were after, well, they didn’t get it. The car was won by a gentleman in California for the listed price: $60,000.

The problem is that the dealer doesn’t want to give him the car. Not long after the auction ended, the winning bidder got a call from BMW of Nebraska telling him the auction was “a mistake,” and that he couldn’t have the car. In spite of the fact that the dealership changed the Buy It Now price twice — and so was paying attention to the auction — and eBay rules that make it clear that if someone wins the auction then you must complete the transaction, the buyer is still trying to get someone to give him the car he won at the winning bid price.
