SIGNED by an F1 legend, the 1973 Plymouth Barracuda could be yours as it goes up for sale on Ebay.
Images show the impressive orange built-to-spec muscle car in beautiful condition.
The interior reveals black leather with monochrome dog-tooth seats and Formula One racer Lando Norris’ signature on the dashboard.
The vehicle has 11,179 miles on the clock and is listed with Cavvecorp on Ebay.
Created by eBay and builders Alex Taylor Racing, the one-off build was created to recognise driver Lando Norris‘ return to the US and outstanding on-track results this season,” states the listing.
The iconic American muscle car was modified with trusted parts and accessories from eBay and debuted in Austin, where the dashboard was autographed by Norris.
Now that eBay auctions the vehicle, it could soon belong to a true fan.
Plus, all proceeds go to charity.
The 70s-era muscle car started in near-stock configuration and underwent extensive upgrades before being wrapped in an unmistakable “papaya” orange colour.
Papaya orange has been a trademark of McLaren’s since the late 1960’s.
However, a few tasteful aftermarket touches include a set of period-appropriate 15-inch American Racing wheels.
The four seat cabin is also covered in black from the floor to the headliner.
It also has a classic wooden steering wheel and a faux wood panel centre console.
Finished off with racing-style front bucket seats and a new carpet.
The listing states: “The winning bidder will also receive those parts removed at time of customization including the wheels, tires, seats and steering wheel.”
It comes after an ultra-rare Porsche 911 went up on sale for a huge price.
The beloved car, virtually untouched since it was made in 1981 had clocked up just 2,400 miles before the owner left it tucked away in storage.

The black Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 SC is listed as looking like it has come “out of the box” due to its pristine condition.
The current owner purchased the car four years ago, but rarely drove it and has now decided that due to his age it is time to sell the car.
It is known as one of the most iconic sports cars of the past 50 years with the first ever owner purchasing it for just £20,000.
Over four decades later and the car is expected to fetch a massive amount more than that when it goes under the hammer.
The car is now set to be sold for a third time later this month by Humbert & Ellis Ltd in Daventry, Northants.
Jonathan Humbert, auctioneer at Humbert & Ellis, said: “To find an example of this marque with such low miles represents an incredible buying opportunity for collectors, investors and drivers alike.
“It is to all intents and purposes like a new car and with these low miles it is surely the closest anyone would get to driving such a ‘new’ car from 1981 – but 43 years later, here in 2024.
“Porsche 911s have such wide appeal – and this car will be a favourite amongst favourites.
“It can only be original once – and I would simply say – try finding another.”
The auction takes place on November 28.
