Can someone provide a link to where the car is? I would love to own apart of Mr. Toad. Is that the current bid that it is at now?

What exactly does someone do with one of these?

Most of the larger stuff is kept outdoors thru rainstorms, constant florida sun, occasional frost etc...

The auction is up to $5200. :lol: I guess there's a market for everything.

some day........*que up dream state*.......I will have my own retro-magic kingdom..........I will have all of the old rides....20000 leagues........the old dumbo.........and even horizons......

though, I am suprised the price isnt much higher. I would think a lot of crazed-disney fans would be clamoring to get it, especially those who are big time collectors.
