Volvo Coupe ($216,000)
As eccentric as David Bowie was, he was nothing if not practical. After all, you don’t survive a diet of red peppers, recreational drugs and milk without being somewhat reasonable. Rather than drive a flashy Aston Martin or a Rolls-Royce like his fellow Brits, Bowie sped along the autobahn in a Volvo 262C.

Bowie started driving the car in the early ‘80s and he used it regularly until 1998 when he finally sold it. The car stayed in the possession of its second owner until it was sold by the Oldtimer Galerie Toffen, a Swedish auction house. The original service booklet and a copy of the first vehicle registration were sold with the car.
Hundreds Of General Lees Made For The Dukes Of Hazzard
Let’s say you’re making a long-running show about a couple of brothers who get into all kinds of hijinks in their badass orange car, how many of those do you think you’d need to make? Four? Five? Try three hundred cars. That’s how many Dodge Chargers were turned into General Lees over the course of seven seasons of The Dukes of Hazzard.

The cars went through so much stress that at least 75 of them were basically junked out, and hundreds more were used to as parts to repair the remaining cars. By the time the show as canceled there were only 17 General Lees left and they were sold to private owners. One car, from the pilot episode, was restored and sold for $110,000.
