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.
