The Helmet car wasn't running, but one lucky bidder nabbed the unique vehicle at the auction.

According to the posting:

The car has been in storage for awhile and is in disrepair. The car does not run and will need to be towed away. The tires are flat, and the door from one of the storage compartments has broken off the piano hinge.

The bidding kicked off on Friday and lasted four hours, and the bidding quickly escalated until it reached the winning bid of $8000.

According to the Spokesman Review, Super-Cougar fan Andy Largent, who's a co-owner and founder of the Flatstick Pub franchise with his brother Sam Largent, made the winning bid with a few minutes left in the auction.

Talk about a killer item, I'm sure those two Super-Cougar fans will be happy with their purchase. I won't be surprised if they fix it up and drive it around town - that would be a sight to see for sure.
