Yep, you heard me correctly...a flying car, and it can be yours for the mere price of a small Lear Jet!

According to published reports, back in her earlier years, Marilyn Felling would wait intently for the aerocar to cruise into Burbank Airport on the 1961 television hit “The Bob ****s Show.” And every week, she wished she had an aerocar of her very own.

Her dream came true years later when she and husband Carl Felling purchased an aerocar from a tobacco farmer in Kansas City, Mo.

Fastforward 25 years, and as the result of a recent divorce settlement, the car/airplane is now for sale...for a mere $3.5 million dollars!

“The asking price defines a serious buyer, so you’re not going to take it home and blow it up,” Marilyn Felling told the Grand Junction Free Press, (as if a lower sticker price might lead to the recreation of the "Big Bang Theory" on a slightly smaller scale).

The former couple is not disclosing how much they paid for the car when they purchased it back in the early 80s, but from what I can tell this model cost around $11,000 when they were introduced back in the late 50s.

While I am not sure what real impact this car's history will have on its final selling price, the car does have appear to have had a rather storied past.

According to its owner, this car once served as a plane for KISN radio traffic out in Portland and later carried Raul Castro (Fidel's brother) around Cuba before hitting a horse on the runway while landing.

While the current owner hopes that her car/aeroplane/one-of-five-ever-built-gold-plated-trailer-queens will eventually land in a museum, serious private buyers are still welcome to make an offer.

If you are interested in parking an Aerocar in your garage/hanger, you can click here to learn more about this extremely unique car...and just in case I failed to mention it, if you are a more "thrifty-minded" buyer, the car can apparently fly up to 300 miles on a single tank of gas at speeds of up to 110 miles per hour in the air, and a more sedate 62 miles of hour while safely on the ground.

Happy Flying/Driving!
