 The King of Pop was the star of a huge auction Saturday in New York, and a Gatlinburg man got a piece of the prize.

Charlie Moore, the owner of Hollywood Star Cars Museum in Gatlinburg, bought Michael Jackson's 1985 Mercedes Benz. He also purchased a photo of Jackson driving the car.

Moore will display the Mercedes at his museum, which features more than 40 authentic Hollywood vehicles including Elvis Presley's Lincoln and Frank Sinatra's Jaguar.

Jackson's glove that he wore for his first moonwalk performance also sold at the auction for $350,000 to a Hong Kong hotel executive.
