Prior to passing away from complications that were brought on from a surgery mishap, legendary automobile designer Boyd Coddington of American Hot Rod fame and his crew were working on building a custom black-on-black, super-charged, 1967 Plymouth Barracuda. Unfortunately, because of his untimely death, this project never even got off the ground.

Now, nearly a year later, the HEMI’d ‘Cuda that Coddington visualized was finally completed when the ride pimping crew over at West Coast Customs took over and brought Boyd’s concept to life.

So why the fuck am I explaining this on a Phillies site? Fair question.

Because when that same car was up for sale last week at the world famous Barrett-Jackson auto auction, ex-Phillies slugger Pat Burrell (I’m still not used to typing that) was smack dab in the middle of a bidding war for it:

I’m not too hip when it comes to this car auction nonsense, but by the looks of it Pat and his stylish Santa Cruz t-shirt bid as high as $190,000 before eventually losing out to some overly excited jaggov in a suit.

You can watch the clip, along with the nauseating vocal tones of the auctioneer, after the jump.
