Want to own Iran's president's car

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - January 3, 2011

But it isn't the car's low mileage or features that has drawn a bid of $1 million.

It's the car's owner: Iranian president Mahmood Ahmadinejad.

The 33-year-old set of wheels is being sold off in a charity auction to raise money for a low-income housing project.

Iran's daily newspaper said various bids from abroad have come in to the multilingual website set up over the weekend.

But the paper isn't elaborate on the identity of the bidders.

The top bidders will be invited to the auction, which will be held in mid-February.
