Rare flying car listed for sale on eBay

(Credit: eBay Motors)

It's no Ferrari, but an original 1956 Aerocar--the first flying car to be deemed street-legal in the U.S.--is listed for sale on eBay. And it's only $3.5 million--if you use "buy it now."

It's presumably in good shape, with the auction stating that its engine was inspected a couple of years ago, but if you plan on flying this car anywhere I'd recommend a tune-up first--the engine hasn't been officially inspected since 1976.

Of course, for that money you could buy a top-of-the-line personal jet as well as a rare super car, but that wouldn't be nearly as neat as this thing. I want it.

i doubt this works

It doesn't. It hasn't been airworthy since 1977. Wikipedia has some interesting information about the N103D. Raul Castro once flew in.

I did work! it was the first flying car. Unfortuently the design wasnt worthy enough for investors and only several prototypes were made, the fact being this air/landcraft is the foundation of the air and land transportation to come and several flying cars have been made and are infact street legal! many people are already investing in this new breed of transportation!
