WASHINGTON -- A luxury Chrysler sedan President-elect
Barack Obama drove before winning the White House is being
auctioned off on eBay...(eBay auction page:

Tim O'Boyle, the general manager of a restaurant in
Hillside, Ill., is selling Obama's steel blue 2005 Chrysler
300C Hemi on the Internet auction site, hoping to cash in
on history...

Obama leased the car in 2004 at Park Plaza Dodge in Forest
Park, Ill., and swapped it for a Ford Escape hybrid in
2007. It was transferred back to the dealership, where
O'Boyle bought it last February.

Before driving off, "one of the guys over at the car
dealership said, 'You better hold on to that thing,'" said
O'Boyle, an Obama supporter. "I said, 'Why's that? And he
said, 'Because it used to belong to Obama.'"

O'Boyle tried to sell it on eBay in December, but stopped
when his accountant told him to wait until he had owned it
for a year for tax reasons...

The Kelley Blue Book values a 2005 Chrysler 300C in
excellent condition at $15,750.
