Sotheby's Auctions has just released a pretty crazy line-up of historically significant motorsport vehicles. However, the one that takes the cake is the 1960 Corvette that part of the Briggs Cunningham team.

The car drove at Le Mans as Briggs Cunningham tried to win the most difficult race in the world in an American made car. This was the car that was actually used at Le Mans which is why the price will probably be so high.

The car has Chassis number 3535 and has the information to prove it. However, it should be noted that the car is in poor condition. The car was under private ownership for a while until it was believed to be lost.

However, the car was found in 2012. It was then that specialists came to inspect the car and to confirm its historical significance. It is unclear how much the car will sell for but it is assumed that it will be quite a bit of money.

There are some other cars that are worth noting that will be joining the 1960 Corvette in the auction. The first is 1965 Shelby 289 Cobra that was used by Carroll Shelby as a demonstrator car. The car is in good condition and has a tuned V8 engine that is in running condition.

Also, there are a few cars from John Campion's collection. The most notable is the 1981 March 811 Formula 1 car that was actually raced. It is a formula 1 car that shows off the older style of formula 1 cars. It is in great condition and will most likely sell for quite a bit of money.

Did Bon Scott write any of Back in Black?

I should probably start this off with a sort of a disclaimer. Firstly, I am not expert on this nor am I affiliated with AC/DC. This is mere speculation and opinion. However, it is quite an interesting topic in the world of AC/DC since there are many fans who often wonder about this. But, for those who are not as familiar with the subject, let's start by setting the scene of the story. In February of 1980, the lead singer of AC/DC Bon Scott passed away. He was one of the core parts of the band and played a large role in the band's songwriting process and performances. Bon Scott was the front man for AC/DC along with Angus Young and had quite a large following. However, he was also a very stereotypical Rockstar as he spent much of his time doing drugs, partying, and living a fast lifestyle. This eventually would be what lead to his death in 1980. He passed away after a long night of drinking when he curled up in the back of his car to sleep. In his sleep he choked on his own vo...
