A 2009 Ford F-150 King Ranch pickup truck that belonged to former US president George W. Bush fetched $350,000 at the Barrett-Jackson auction that took place in Palm Beach, Florida, last weekend.
All proceeds from the sale of the truck will benefit the National Guard Youth Foundation which provides scholarships, training and workforce transition assistance for graduates of the ChalleNGe program.

According to Barrett-Jackson, this 5.4-liter V8-powered truck was purchased new by George W. Bush, who used it at his Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas. The white King Ranch features the President’s signature on the right airbag panel and comes with a copy of a video showing him autographing the truck.

"I haven't driven on a street in many, many years, but I have been able to drive this truck on my ranch," said George W. Bush.
