If you read further into the auction you'll see two key pieces of information:
1) 100% of the proceeds of this auction will go to Charity. This almost always causes things to be sold for more than they otherwise would go for.
2) This auction is only open to Dodge Dealers. No one else can bid on this vehicle.
Also, they are not only bidding on the car, it's a whole package.

All that being said, $85,000 is still way too much for that car.
