McConaughey Loves to Ebay!

According to themovieinsider.com, Matthew McConaughey is selling a sports car on eBay to raise money for hurricane relief.

The 36-year-old actor is donating all proceeds from the sale of his 1971 Corvette Stingray convertible to Oprah's Angel Network for Katrina and Rita recovery efforts, according to details on oprah.com.

Katrina hit the Gulf Coast last Aug. 29, forcing several hundred thousand Louisiana evacuees to flee to Texas. Rita slammed southeast Texas on Sept. 24.

McConaughey, who was born in Uvalde, Texas, says he bought the car in the late 1990s at a California car show.

He dubbed it Mako, like the shark, according to his statement on the website, and has driven to Mexico and back in the vehicle and many times across Texas.
