San Francisco punk legend auctions off beat-up personal relic
""It's a very historic car. It's not a beautiful car - it's got dings and whatever else - it's a punk rock car.""
""The drivers seat also boasts 12K Jello farts," one commenter wrote on the listing."
"The auction listing notes that the Toyota's upholstery "will need more safety pins than a punk vest to keep it together," and that "the interior smells like something more than teen spirit.""
Jello Biafra is auctioning his 1989 Toyota Celica GT convertible, which shows 212,000 miles and has a current bid of $11,600. A video accompanying the listing presents the car as functional but cosmetically worn, with cracked upholstery, exposed foam, and a prominent dent near the fuel tank. The car carries a "Manning/Snowden '16" bumper sticker and punk-era wear that some buyers may value. Comments and the listing emphasize odor and seat damage with humorous phrasing about "Jello farts" and safety pins. Biafra and the Dead Kennedys were central to San Francisco's punk scene and faced an obscenity trial over a H.R. Giger poster insert.
