JAKARTA - A racing car previously owned by Eddie Van Halen was auctioned off. The Van Halen frontman reportedly bought a new black Ferrari 550 in 2000 and kept it until at least 2009.

Gotta Have Rock And Roll, an East Coast auction house dedicated to connecting serious collectors with rock memorabilia, will kick off its bid for a $ 125,000 Ferrari 550 six-speed, opening July 22 at 9:00 a.m.

According to information reported by Blabbemouth, Monday, July 20, the car that has just been used for 28,000 miles is expected to be released between 150-200 thousand US dollars. Of course, it will come with a Gotta Have Rock And Roll certificate.

According to Gotta Have Rock And Roll, the car was sold to close friend Eddie Van Halen, who is the current owner.

Meanwhile, outside of the Ferrari car auction, there are a lot of rumors regarding Eddie Van Halen's health. TMZ reported last fall that Eddie Van Halen had received treatment in the US and Germany in recent years.

Last October, the guitarist who has Indonesian ancestry stopped by a McLaren dealer in Beverly Hills and mingled with the sales team, taking photos and even giving a fan a kiss. But a few days later, she was photographed in a spine surgeon's office in Beverly Hills.

Representatives for Van Halen did not comment on TMZ's initial report when contacted by Fox News.

Early last year, rumors ran rampant that Van Halen's classic line-up was reuniting for the first time since 1984. It was not clear why the tour had finally canceled despite online conversations that revealed Eddie Van Halen's health had deteriorated.

Last November, TMZ reported that Eddie Van Halen spent several days in hospital because of complications from his cancer treatment. Sources close to the legendary guitarist told the site that he was hospitalized with intestinal problems and stomach ailments, both as a result of bad reactions to drugs Eddie reportedly used to fight throat cancer.
