The Fourth Annual Barrett-Jackson Los Angeles Collector Car Auction at the Petersen Automotive Museum will also feature; a 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 being sold by Sylvester Stallone -- this special car is fitted with a racing interior and used as the Pace and Safety Car during the 2002 United States Formula One Grand Prix, was subsequently given to Stallone by AMG and F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone; a 1934 Ford 3-Window Hot Rod Coupe that actor Kurt Russell will be selling at No Reserve. Also, award winning actress Jodi Foster will be selling her 1969 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible at No Reserve, a car that she has owned since new.

Both Pamela Anderson and Kurt Russell are scheduled to attend the auction in person to be on hand when their cars cross the auction block on Saturday.
