Default How many C5s for 10 Million??

Someone paid John Schneider/Bo Duke 10 million dollars on e-bay for his personal 1969 Dodge Charger/ General Lee car. Yes 10 million dollars for a car that cost 3-4k new. Bo probably only had 30k invested in the car himself. Isnt that crazy??? So how many C5s would you buy if you had 10 million dollars to spend???

The way that I had read it yesterday was that the bid was made, but the winning bidder had not contacted the seller. Could just be a hoax.

I would bank the $10MM. Then I would buy a brand new corvette each year with the interest earnings. Wouldn't even put a dent in the principal.

You could get over 500k a year @ 5% A.P.R.

Good luck. Even some of you guys would have trouble spending 10 mil on mods.
