Matthew McConaughey is auctioning off his 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible on eBay with all proceeds going to Oprah's Angel Network's Hurricanes Katrina and Rita recovery. “The lines on this ’vette are my favorite lines on any sports car ... it’s got the shoulders and the hips,” McConaughey says of the car. “It’s got muscle and it’s built for drivin’. You don’t get it for the gas mileage ... it’s not a Tiptronic Porsche. When you wanna get it, you feel the horsepower in your backside. The music in this car is listenin’ to the engine ... for me it’s the quintessential, bare bones, badass American sports car.”

Rockin'!
