World's first road-legal flying car up for sale for 800,000
The ultimate traffic jam-beating flying car has been put up for sale at a cool 800,000.
The 1954 Aerocar is being sold by Rockford, Illinois-based company Courtesy Aircraft as one of only five which are known to still exist today.
Despite being 'out of annual' the collector's item could prove to be a popular investment, although it is in need of some maintenance as its last inspection was over 14 years ago and it has not taken to the sky in quite a while.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the flying car is not missing any major parts and is still in a good enough condition to see it take flight again.
With enough room to take two people up into the clouds, the 150-horsepower vehicle has a cruising speed of 100mph and a 300-mile range.
While the old model might interest vintage car fans, Massachusetts firm Terrafugia is currently developing the Transition, which could be delivered to customers by the end of the year.
This car-cum-plane will be shown off at the New York International Auto Show in April where it will make its first public appearance.
Motorists, and indeed pilots, will be able to fly for 460 miles on one tank of petrol at a cool cruising speed of 110mph
