03.jpgNow that former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has some free time on his hands after he ends his presidential bid on Wednesday, he might want to consider buying back his old 1966 Chevrolet Corvair convertible which has hit the eBay auction block.

In the event he is not tired of road trips after a grueling campaign — which ended after a disappointing third place in Florida where he staked his whole campaign — the aqua colored car is going for $25,000 right now on eBay.

The seller, Cooper Classics of Greenwich Village, New York, said it bought the vehicle from Giuliani in 1996 and has had it in storage since then.

Here’s part of the description:

It was placed into storage until we rediscovered and removed it last week. We removed the car and had these photos taken, without detailing the car, right after the car was taken outside. We sent the car to our mechanic to have all of the fluids drained and to have the car started. The paint appears to be original and in good condition as well as the interior and convertible top.

Bids are due by Friday at around 5:30 p.m. Eastern time.
