McConaughey's Car on eBay

Matthew McConaughey / CorvetteIf you're in the market for a 1971 Corvette convertible you might want to check out Matthew McConaughey's eBay listing.

Matthew McConaughey has put his '71 Vette on the auction block for a good cause. Matthew found the car at a car show back in 1998. At the show's end he was the proud owner of the mediterranean blue muscle car that Matthew says is " ... for me it's the quintessential, bare bones, badass American sports car."

Matthew will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the vehicle to Oprah Winfrey's Angel Network's Hurricane Katrina and Rita recovery efforts. "I am fortunate enough to have everything I need, and the sale of it will help so many" McConaughey writes on the auction site.

31. I personally don't give a crap either way about who he is or who he isn't. Neither should anyone else. I assure you he doesn't stay awake nights wondering if people like him or not. Nor should he. The point here is that he is giving up something that can be used to help others! Whether he is doing it for a tax break, publicity or whatever. Who cares! It's a GIFT it will HELP people and for that ... he is doing a good thing ... that's ALL that matters.

32. What Matthew is doing is a very good thing. I doubt very much if he is doing it as a publicity stunt. I think the people that criticize celebrities for the good they do are trying to make themselves feel better for the good they never do. I would rather see a celebrity donate money for publicity than not at all. To those of you who don`t feel he is giving enough, add to it. Or better yet match it. And by the way, we all make spelling and punctuation errors. It is easy to do when you`re in a hurry. This is not an assay, nor is it a thesees, or a spel be, or a tist,or an xam. lol. sorry I got carried away!

33. I THINK MATT-M IS THE SWEETEST PERSON. I BELIEVE HE'S GIVING FROM HIS HEART. HE'S SUCH A DOWN TO EARTH GUY. I LOVE THE GUY, LOVE HIS MOVIES TOO. HE'S AWESOME. I ONLY WISH I COULD AFFORD HIS CAR BECAUSE IT'S EVEN HOTTER SINCE HE DROVE IT, MAKES IT EVEN MUCH MORE VALUABLE.

36. Ok guys, Do you REALLY think Matthew is hurting for money ? I mean COME ON, you think he is after the TAX BREAK ? He is just trying to do something nice for people less fortunate. ( Those less fortunates SHOULD have gotten thier ass's OUT of New Orleans..we have ALL known down South all of our lives what would happen if a hurricane of that magnitude hit New orleans..only people that are not from around here were surprised.) I went Thru Katrina and didn't get a DIME from anyone ... maybe Matthew could auction the car and help people like me and my family, WHO WORK and got the SHAFT after Katrina out..LOL Just a thought , but all in all cut him a break he is doing more than some and his intentions are good. Broke In Alabama

37. My daughter and I helped the Katrina victims ourselves at a time when we were going through alot of loss ourselves.
She is just now getting her license in Sept. and has ALWAYS... and you can ask anyone, always wanted a blue corvette. I can't think of a better cause. We lost our house, cars, dogs ..and she still has an optimistic outlook towards life.
THINK ABOUT IT MATHEW......There isn't a better cause ! P.S. She is also a big fan !

39. If I had the money I'd buy it, what a great car from one hunk of a man. You people dogging on him, thinking he's doing it for publicity are just jealous. Get a life!

40. All those negatives sound like somebody got up on the wrong side of an all too often empty bed! With a little more effort and a little less whining maybe you too could make a positive contribution. Or maybe not!

41. i THINK IT IS WONDERFUL THAT HE IS DOING IT. WHY IS EVERYONE BEING SO RUDE THAT HE IS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP HIS FELLOW MAN.

42.
WHAT IS WRONG W/ ALL YOU LOSERS, IF YOU CAN'T SAY ANYTHING NICE ABOUT THE GUY......LEAVE HIM ALONE........WHAT HAVE ANY OF YOU MEAN TALKING PEOPLE DONE?? GET A LIFE

43. What is this world coming to? Now we question the reasons someone would do something for charity? And who cares how many people it helps.....one hundred, two hundred.....if it helped one person, thats good enough!!! Let the man sell his car with zero profit to help others and leave it at that. Its a selfless act on his part, and that alone is a reason to praise him. Celebrity or not, he is a class act!!

44. Good Lord..you people can't spell worth a damn! It's fricken funny ..hahaha, you bunch of idiots!! lmfao hahahahahaha

45. I think his donation is wonderful and sorely needed. Do any of you naysayers realize how bad that area is still after all this time? It would be great if even two people were helped. As far as tax deductions go, I don't think, with his income level, it's a factor. As the song goes why don't you people try to, "Always look on the bright side of life."

Please be kind when you edit my post.
