Hunter S. Thompson

The 1973 Chevrolet Caprice convertible, famously known as the 'Red Shark' or 'Great Red Shark' from Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, is heading to auction at Christie's in New York as part of the Jim Irsay Collection. Owned by the gonzo journalism pioneer until his 2005 death, the fire-apple red vehicle featured in the 1998 film adaptation and carries an estimated value of $100,000-$150,000, with proceeds supporting mental health awareness.
