Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno (http://autoblog.com/tag/jay leno/) himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below (http://www.mnfords.com/2013/01/19/george-w-bushs-2009-ford-f-150-fizzles-with-300-000-bid-at-ba/#continued).Continue reading George W.
