The Audi (I'm assuming that WWII one commissioned by Hitler) was withdrawn for a while because there was some problem with its questionable history. Can't quite remember the specifics, but they posted the reason for the delay here. Something along the lines of: it didn't win some race that it was supposed to have, so Christie's either didn't sell it at all, or it sold for way less than expected.

And on another note, pretty cool that he gave the Make-a-Wish-kid a ride in it.]]>May 7th 2007 10:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/07/video-john-schneider-watching-the-general-lee-go-for-almost-10/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/07/video-john-schneider-watching-the-general-lee-go-for-almost-10/@jonathan fung

It was a Type D Auto-union (Audi was one of the 4 marquees that formed the Auto-union group, and sole survivor).

The problem was that the chassis was the 19, not the 21 they thought it was. In fact, the 19 has a quite more interesting racing history, but the 21 won the 1939 French GP. this is the only Auto Union to which Grand Prix racing results can be attributed.

In the light of the new data, Christie's was accepting closed-bids, but the auction was latter withdrawn.

You can read all about it here in Autoblog, if you use the search engine. :)

What I don't understand is the insistence of the nazy comments, specialy when the US does what the nazys did (guantanamo, massmurders of civilians, torture, denial of any sense of democracy or internacional law, guilty until proven otherwise).

The car was engineered by Ferdinand Porsche.]]>May 7th 2007 11:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/07/video-john-schneider-watching-the-general-lee-go-for-almost-10/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/07/video-john-schneider-watching-the-general-lee-go-for-almost-10/May 8th 2007 12:16AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/07/video-john-schneider-watching-the-general-lee-go-for-almost-10/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/07/video-john-schneider-watching-the-general-lee-go-for-almost-10/
