The Missouri-born singer is selling the 1959 190 SL Roadster, her favourite car, to raise money for damaged schools in Joplin and hopes it will raise up to $80,000 in much needed cash.
'After the tornado in Joplin I was moved to help rebuild a city so close to where I grew up in Missouri,' said Crow.
'My hope is that the auction of my 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Roadster will bring in funds to help rebuild the schools in the area.'
The car will be sold at the Gooding & Company's auction in Pebble Beach, California, on Sunday August 21.
