Clooney plans to donate the money he makes on the Roadster to the Satellite Sentinel Project, a nonprofit organization that monitors border tensions between South Sudan and Sudan for signs of violence to prevent a civil war from breaking out. The auction will be handled by Gooding and Co auction house, which specializes in selling celebrity cars.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;This is an incredible opportunity to purchase a modern collector car with all the right elements &#8211; one owner, celebrity provenance, historical significance, limited-edition rarity and philanthropic ties,&quot; said David Gooding, president of the auction house.<\/p>\n<p>According to Forbes, Gooding expects the car to sell for as much as $125,000.
