JFK Jr.'s Jeep Sold on eBay


LOS ANGELES (AP) - John F. Kennedy Jr.'s 1995 Jeep, which he drove to a New
Jersey airport the night of his fatal flight, sold for $57,100 online through
eBay Motors.

There were 81 bids for the green Wrangler Sahara, which normally goes for
$13,000 retail.

The buyer, from Shreveport, La., wants to remain anonymous, but eBay Motors
general manager Simon Rothman said the person was a longtime Kennedy admirer
who wanted to drive the car.

The winning $57,100 bid on Sunday is the same price paid several months ago
through eBay Motors for a car Kennedy's mother owned. The 1974 BMW Bavaria that
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis owned drew 67 bids.

Kennedy died in 1999 at age 38 when his single-engine Piper Saratoga went down
off the coast of Martha's Vineyard. His wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her
sister, Lauren Bessette, also died in the crash. The Jeep was parked at a
Fairfield, N.J., airport.

The eBay purchase includes a copy of the title bearing Kennedy's name and
Manhattan address as well as a photograph of him in the driver's seat.

I've read reports of his activities that day which states he arrived at the
airport in a white Hyundai convertible.
