We regularly write up auctions involving cars once owned by Rockers, but this one is special for a coupe of reasons.  Most cars being sold are one of several cars owned or once owned by the musician.  The 1995 Jaguar in this story is special because it is the only car Joe Cocker ever owned.  In fact, it was the car he learned to drive in.  The other thing we like about this car and sale is that proceeds from the sale will support a community funded radio station that serves the area of Colorado Cocker and his wife called home during the last two decades of the singer's life. Pam Cocker has donated the XJ12 that her husband owned to KVNF to sell in an EBay auction that will raise money for the station that the couple joined other members of the listening audience in supporting. The 12 cylinder British Racing Green lux sedan has just 36,000 miles on it, a top-of-the-line sound system with a 6 CD changer - and comes complete with the last 3 CD's Joe enjoyed listening to while tooling along scenic Rocky Mountain roads. One week of bidding starts at 7pm Sunday (11/29).  There is a minimum opening bid of just $7,500 for a car Cocker took great care of and paid close to $80,000 for new.  Making the deal even sweeter is that fact that dollars bid above the car's Blue Book value are tax deductible.
