The legendary Frank Sinatra’s 1985 Chrysler “Le Baron” has appeared for auction on eBay UK.
The singer, who died May 14th 1998 was famous for his role in the Rat Pack, his solo music career, numerous film roles and general attitude towards life. He was an American icon for many years, although appreciated worldwide. Sinatra was also frequently linked to the mafia, and it’s often thought that his career was partially funded and aided by organized crime.
The auction seems legitimate, and apparently full legal ownership documents are available as proof, although no copy is available on the auction. The car is reputed as “the last car he ever drove” and was apparently owned by him for around six years. The car was given to Mr. Sinatra on Valentine’s Day 1985, by his wife Barbara (formally Barbara Marx, widowed to one of the Marx brothers)
The car seems in good condition, but has not been registered and is not immediately drive-able, although it could of course be registered upon purchase. There’s alot more information and history on the auction itself, and I’m sure a quick Google would provide a lot of information.

postage would be fairly hectic over the next week, and because the item held some value that I’d pay that little extra for the recorded delivery, Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded.
