Michael Jackson's Bentley to be auctioned

LOS ANGELES -- Michael Jackson's custom 2001 Bentley Arnage Red Label Turbosedan, used to ferry entertainers to his Neverland Ranch and in the making of the "What More Can I Give?" charity music video, is on the auction block.

With 13,600 miles on the odometer, it's loaded with pop star upgrades: two DVD players, three flat screen video monitors, CD changer and video gaming system operational at each seat.

Performers on the music video autographed the interior ceiling. Among them were Jackson, Beyonce Knowles, Reba McEntire, Nick Carter, Shawn Stockman from Boyz II Men and Tom Petty.

"This will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for somebody to own a truly very special car," Craig Jackson, president of Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Barrett-Jackson Auction Co., said recently. He declined to predict what it might bring.

Jackson's Bentley is among hundreds of collector cars on the block during the firm's annual classic car auction Jan. 21-25. Jackson is expected to be on hand when the Bentley goes on the block Jan. 25.
