In an attempt to combat financial difficulties, the organizing committee of the Burning Man Festival in Nevada has put nearly two hundred art cars up for sale, including some particularly weird-looking ones.
The most famous example on the block is a 1973 Cadillac Sedan DeVille that David Best turned into a ‘rocket car’ around two decades ago (watch the video for a reminder). It is set to go for $30,000 – $50,000 USD, although bidding has only reached $12,000 so far.
Then there is a 2004 Honda Civic turned into a post-apocalyptic giant cockroach on wheels, as well as a forged Fossil Scooter running on electric power. The former has already attracted $20,000 and the latter $40,000.
Burning Man tracks its history all the way back to 1986, but has been canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-related restrictions. The organizers believe that they will still be able to hold it next month.
