Washington, Sept 16 (ANI): Sheryl Crow's vintage Mercedes has fetched a whopping 130,000 dollars in an auction held to support tornado-damaged schools in Joplin, Missouri.
The singer donated her 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 Sl Roadster to auction house Gooding and Co., with proceeds from the sale going towards the rebuilding of the devastated city's schools.
The car, which the musician bought in 2005, was expected to pull in 50,000 dollars to 100,000 dollars, but went way over the estimation when it went under the hammer on August 22.
An anonymous couple put in the winning bid for 130,000 dollars.
As well as the car, the pair will get one of the star's Gibson guitars, two concert tickets and a photo opportunity with Crow herself.
"I am so touched by the donor making this very generous contribution on my behalf to Joplin schools," Contactmusic quoted her as saying. (ANI)
