The Story

James Hetfield with the "Hetskid" CASE skid steer

The Story

Edition 1 of 25, first off the line.

The other 24 are already sold. This is the final edition of the Metallica CASE collaboration ever to cross the block, a working skid steer transformed into a collectible, with custom art panels you'll never see offered again.

Every detail was made to be seen up close: the paint, the panels, the provenance. This is the kind of lot that gets talked about long after the gavel drops.
