One of my all time favorite unicorns has come up for sale, a Chrysler Turbine car. I believe the last on to come up for sale was the one Jay Leno bought, around 10 years ago. No idea whats its worth but definitely one for the lottery win list.

Oh CHRIST yes please.

On another note, weren't all these meant to be crushed after the evaluation? How many actually survived?

Have you seen the episode of Jay Leno with his example? Good bit of viewing if you can find in on YouTube.

Yes.

And he let James May drive it as well, when JM did one of those Cars of the People series.

Apparently 9 survived.
Considering how revolutionary the car is (imo) I'm surprised they are not revered more. Steve Lehto wrote a book about them and the science, engineering and development that Chrysler did is quite incredible.
Would love to know what the asking price is.

I'm just loving that - a real jet car even in its looks!

That is just fabulous. Have to admit I’d not heard if it before.

Also worth noting they have a turbine engine and transmission for sale as well from the same collection. 100k for that, but what a piece of history.
