Foxx Gets Temporary Reprieve: Comedian Redd Foxx’s 1983 Zimmer Opera Coupe, seven other classic cars, director’s chair, ukulele, a rickshaw, collection of phonograph records and 470 other items got a 30-day reprieve from the auction block Saturday when a last-minute federal court order halted an Internal Revenue Service sale of the entertainer’s Las Vegas home, fleet of automobiles and other belongings. The stay is only temporary, however, until a judge can sort out who gets first crack at Foxx’s property: the IRS or creditors left over from a $900,000 1983 bankruptcy that Foxx filed. The IRS seized more than 400 items of personal property in a raid on his home Nov. 28. The property ranged from his Las Vegas home to antique cars, furniture, dozens of pieces of flashy jewelry, posters and photographs.
