A 1956 Aerocar, the only vehicle to receive FAA
certification for travel both in the skies and on the
roads, has been put up for sale on the online auction site
eBay: http://xrl.us/Aerocar
The Colorado-based sellers are seeking $3.5 million US for
the vehicle which was last inspected in July 1976. Only six
Aerocars were ever made.
The cars were designed and manufactured by Moulton Taylor
of Longview, Wash.
The plane has logged 1,103 flight hours and spent 303 hours
on the roads, according to the auction description. When
the tail wings are added to the car's central hub housing
its 160 HP engine, the plane can reach speeds of up about
160 km/h.
The auction closes Dec. 16.
