I don't care if Charlie owned it. It's butt f'ugly looking to me.

Ex-Charlie Sheen 1966 Ford Mustang Being Sold for Charity

If this car could talk it would probably get a book deal.

A 1966 Ford Mustang once owned by Hollywood bad boy Charlie Sheen is being auctioned by charitybuzz.com. The proceeds of the sale are earmarked for C5 LA, a Los Angeles organization that helps at-risk youth get into college.

Sheen had the ‘Stang heavily modified in 2006, installing a 650 horsepower V8 from a Winston Cup stock car, full roll cage, racing seats and a six-speed transmission, unlike Charlie who says “I have one speed, I have one gear: go!” He sold it shortly afterward.

The car is listed as street legal, but was clearly intended to be used on the track. It has only been driven 155 miles since the restoration.

Adding to the car’s memorabilia value, Sheen’s autograph can be found on the door of the glove compartment.

Charitybuzz estimates the car’s value at $283,000. As of this writing the bidding stands at $100,000, but the auction is open until November 17th, so there’s still plenty of time to win.

Wow. Looks like they stole the carpet kit from the George Barris' Batmobile.

Can it beat a well-sorted 944?

[RANDY P]

Power windows. LOL.

it's ugly as sin as well.

I would pay reasonably large sums of money to NOT have that parked on my street.

The lines of that roll cage and those seats don't help. That's not $283K quality. That's JC Whitney-quality aesthetics.

I did better looking work in high school.

Doesn't exactly turn my crank.

But I gotta agree that it somehow fits Charlie Sheen.

[HardDrive]

Why would anyone in their right mind bid more than the parts value of the car?

Dear lord......

[HardDrive]

Imagine IF instead of building that ghetto cruiser he had spent the $$$ it took to create it on restoring a fastback Mustang to perfection. Ugh. Drugs + Tigers Blood = Money poorly spent.

[Heel n Toe]

I wonder if he ever terrorized Mulholland in that thing... having had that rollbar/cage put in it, one would have to wonder.

[klm2500hd]

Could be enough coke in the car to make up the difference vs. what it's worth.

[widgeon13]

Ugly and those seats don't look very comfortable. Not my cup of tea.

Hell, there's probable DNA on the carpets!

[LWJ]

Horrible. Even the big motor can't make that cool. What a POS.

[Joe Bob]

Prolly get herpes from the seat....

[fred cook]

That thing is really, really FUGLY! Maybe someone will buy it and crush it.

[masraum]

Well, it's not my thing, but if you could pick it up cheap, it probably wouldn't be that hard to "fix" and turn into something that would be quite a hoot to drive. New wheels, rollbar and interior and it would be passable (well, not by much if it's running a 650hp motor).

What that car needs is a nice set if Daytons and a hydraulics kit.

Exactly what I was thinking...

IMHO, no Mustang is worth that kind of coin.

Well, maybe with the exception of 9F02R112073.

Yes, I know some of the 'stangs with race history sell for much more than that - I recently saw a Bud Moore "backup" car for sale at the outrageous price of $1,100,000 - but I just don't get it....

Maybe because the price includes the stash of illegal intoxicants and/or the list of exclusive call girl phone numbers?
