You Can Own Bobby Cox’ Car
By Fred Owens
Okay Braves fans, time to step up. If you’re real, genuine, can’t be discourage Braves fan, you have to have this one of a kind Bobby Cox collectable.
Real collectors know that scarcity increases value and this item is a real one and only available just in time for Christmas. Currently available on ebay is a 1998 Rolls Royce Silver Spur owned by the recent Hall of Fame Inductee and former Braves manager.
Cox bought the car in 2006 and recently sold to a local dealer. The auction page describes it like this.
"This car is like new condition!! It only has 31,000 Original Miles on it. It has always been kept in a climate controlled garage. It has the 6.8 Liter engine and it runs like a dream. Drive across the country in style. It has every option I guess you could get at that time. Everything works as it did in 1989 when new. THIS CAR IS LIKE NEW!! It has all the books on it like Owners Manuel ETC.. The floor mats are actual Sheep Skin. Here is your chance to own a car that was owned by a HALL OF FAME MLB MANAGER!! Clear title in hand."
"This car is also For Sale locally so auction could end early. It is sold AS IS with no warranty given or implied in anyway. Pre Sale inspections are always welcomed and encouraged BEFORE END OF AUCTION!! If you bid and meet reserve and are high bidder or if you hit the Buy It Now then you own the car. No apologizes on this car."
The buy it now price is $29,500 for a 25 year old car that defined luxury and style in it’s day and even today looks like new. I’m not sure I’d drive it across country as I suspect the gas mileage would be in the mid-teens at best but this is a car to be seen in on special occasions not drive to the local 7-11 for a slushie.
It’s time a real Braves fan to own this piece of history. Step up and make it happen Braves Country!
