Slash is also auctioning his 1966 Corvette Stingray, which is an all time classic. The crown jewel is a 1966 Corvette Stingray, estimated to sell for at least $90,000 to $100,000, and described by Slash as a monster of a car. It was the toughest item to let go of, because it was the first good car he ever bought just as Guns N Roses were becoming big stars in the late 1980s, and it is largely in original condition.He estimates that he has about 100 guitars, and will sell 14 of them at the auction. Among them is a Guild acoustic on which he recorded the bands early ballad Patience. Also on the block are various custom and one-of-a-kind Telecaster, Stratocaster, Sanchez, Epiphone and B.C. Rich models.Jackets, T-shirts and jewelry, with skull motifs in abundance are going on sale, and two of Slashs trademark top hats. And then there are the model dinosaurs, which would thrill any 6-year-old boy and evidently did the same to an adult rock star.A sizable share of the proceeds from the March 26 sale will go to charity.
