Bill Goldberg loves his cars, but one of them ended up in his possession by accident.

We don’t mean an accident such as taking it home and regretting his purchase.

It was a genuine mistake that he ended up purchasing the 1963 Dodge 330 Max Wedge.

Bill Goldberg’s big blunder

The Dodge 330 made an appearance on a recent episode of Goldberg’s Garage.

In the YouTube video, the former wrestler took his 130,000 subscribers through the car’s backstory.

From the outside, the 330 may look like a tame choice for a man known for his love of muscle cars.

Well, Goldberg may have been of the same opinion only a short while ago.

He never meant to be taking it home.

Here’s what went down.

Goldberg was at an auction with his wife – where he’d already picked up a triple-black 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T – when he spotted the 330.

Wanting to show his wife how ‘ugly’ the car was, he approached and was asked by the owner to drive the car on stage for the auction.

Goldberg agreed and drove out on stage, where bidding soon drew to a standstill.

Wanting to make things more interesting, Goldberg raised his hand – accidentally casting the highest bid.

The highest bid was $89,000, which is a steal really.

A closer look at the Dodge 330

The Dodge belongs to the Mopar family, built to be drag racers.

Goldberg’s 1963 330 Lightweight spent years running the quarter-mile, losing its original drivetrain in the process.

Besides this, the car retains all its original parts, including the front fenders, acid-dripped grille and interior.

In his video, Goldberg takes his followers through the process of rebuilding the carburetor.
