John's 1956 Bentley will be among a group of celebrity cars to be auctioned in Indiana.

Other notable vehicles going on the auction block include a bulletproof 1987 Chevrolet Suburban once owned by Sylvester Stallone, the 1998 Volkswagen Beetle (Shagmobile) from ``Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me,'' Wynonna Judd's 1952 Cadillac and a collection of John Mellencamp cars, including a 1955 Chevy pickup.

The $80 million collection of more than 5,000 vehicles goes on sale August 30 at Kruse International's Auburn Fall Auction in Auburn, Indiana.

Dean Kruse said, ``Hollywood collector car prices are heating up again. As long as cars reflect personalities of celebrities they will add to the value of cars.''

Other celebrity cars include a 1971 Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible owned by Burt Reynolds and Miss Hathaway's 1969 Dodge Coronet convertible used on ``The Beverly Hillbillies'' TV series.

Kruse International, which bills itself as the world's largest collector car organization, is owned by eBay.
