The 20-foot-long four-wheeler’s interior has a cockpit with two nicely decorated upholstery seats for the driver and his assistant. The cockpit is even fitted with military-style hand-carved instrument panels.

The Airplane Car can carry up to 14 passengers at the same time. This magnificent aerocar is up for sale on Craigslist for $125,000. The price also includes a scrapbook that features pictures, the car’s history and even documents highlighting the car’s transformation.
