What do you get the person who's finally ready to live their best life pretending to be Malibu Barbie? A hot pink Corvette owned by Angelyne, the buxom blonde billboard queen best known for tooling around Los Angeles in her one-of-a-kind coupe.
The blonde, D-list celebrity recently listed the car on eBay with an asking price of $11,000. As of Wednesday morning, bidding had driven the price up to $12,011.
Not a bad deal. According to the Kelley Blue Book, if you're buying a 2008 Corvette from a private party in the L.A. area, it'll generally cost between $12,000 and $15,000.
And that doesn't include a surcharge for Hollywood history. Per the eBay ad, Angelyne promises to personally autograph the corvette if the buyer wants. The auction ends Sunday at 8:15 p.m.
Support for LAist comes from
Sporting a license plate that reads "ANGELNN," the two-door car comes with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, rear-wheel drive, cruise control, airbags, air conditioning and black leather seats. It also boasts a brand new radiator and new tires. It does, however, have a whopping 190,000 miles on it.
In case you're worried, Angelyne will still have wheels. One of her friends tells LAist that Angelyne also owns two other Corvettes: a 2016 and a 2017 model.
The pink queen will keep rolling.
[An earlier version of this story incorrectly referred to Angelyne's car as a convertible. It is, in fact, a coupe.]
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
