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.
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.
