Late Ken Block’s assorted belongings up for grabs on eBay

Over 30 items have been posted on eBay recently that once belonged to the late Ken Block, legendary rally and stunt driver. The offerings range from autographs and brand merchandise to used racecar parts. The seller promises to donate all proceedings to charities.

The auction start date for all items is April 3, and it’s not a coincidence. The American way of writing that date is 4/3. Most Block’s racecars had the number 43 on them. A charity fund named 43 Institute will reportedly donate all sale profits to various social initiatives – such as the one meant to help children from poor families start their career in active sports.

The list includes baseball caps, t-shirts and sweatshirts from Block’s own collection, as well as his racing overalls. Fans can buy multiple books and a poster with the driver’s own signature. Last but not least, there are numerous car parts salvaged from Block’s many vehicles. These include wheels, a front bumper, a turbine and assorted drivetrain components.

Ken Block died aged 55 in a snowmobile accident on January 2, 2023. Throughout the recent years, he was best known as the star of the Gymkhana stunt driving series. For the past ten years, Block had largely represented the Ford brand, releasing several well-known custom cars with that company.
