Holy Roller
It's nice to own the Ferrari that belonged to Steve McQueen, but what about a Mercedes-Benz that belonged to a Saint? The vehicle, which goes to auction on October 27th in Padua, Italy, belonged to Padre Pio, a monk who purportedly possessed supernatural powers. The car was a gift to him from an appreciative family who'd received a miracle. Coys, the auctioneer, expects the price to exceed $266,000, the price received on eBay for a VW Golf that may or may not have belonged to Pope Benedict XVI.
No details have been released about the nature of Padre Pio's miracle.

This is an age old car. I think he must take it from any Museum or Public car Auction where people come to sell there old Gold.
