Ok not the whole thing, just a car.  8)

I can't imagine anyone is going to pay anywhere close to the asking price for this, and I'm not sure the description is correct...

 

 

This is the only known WDW monorail to ever make it into the hands of the public,

 

Wasn't there another one on eBay a year or 2 ago?

Found it and it was just about a year ago.  It was listed by Theme Park Connection and TCD tracked it down to sitting in GA somewhere.

 

Here's the 2014 eBay listing...

It said the car was in Orlando and it was local pickup only.  The phone number on the new listing is in CA and they say they'll arrange to get it anywhere in the country, possibly the world.

 

It looks like the same one in some of the photos though.

The description of how they came into ownership is strange to say the least. I am surprised Disney did not have any and all Disney References removed as they usually do with I think everything that gets sold.  Just does not have the same nostalgia as trains. Weird listing. I won't be whipping out my checkbook for this one.

I'm still trying to figure out if the current owner bought it last year and this is the same one?  It seems like it, but it's hard to tell.

 

Also while the phone number listed is CA, it seems the actual monorail is now sitting in Tampa.

 

All kinda weird, but it's getting a TON of press.

I think it is the same one and I think the only one.  Some special auction disney had but it has popped up all over the place.

 

Here is a couple of Videos

 

These are from 2014.  Seems while in GA
