Own a Piece of Rare History, 1939 GM Futurliner For Sale in Canoga Park
[Update September 26, 2017]: This vehicle sold sometime in 2016 by a German car collector which is also currently under restoration. Sad to see this go but also glad to see that a restoration is underway. You can see more here and here.

This extremely rare vehicle (currently residing in Canoga Park) is now available for $400,000 on Craigslist which seems like a bargain considering that another almost perfectly restored vehicle sold at a Barret-Jackson auction in 2006 for $4 million. So the difference between those two vehicles in terms of price is an amazing $3.6 million. However, this vehicle has been converted into a motorhome and therefore is not entirely original.
Additionally, this vehicle was originally available for sale on ebay for $1 million (back on January 2008) and currently now at bargainbusnews.com for $795,000. So it seems that the current owner is eager to part with this piece of history. I talked in depth about this vehicle back in March 2012 which has a large collection of historical photos in addition to this vehicle for your viewing pleasure.
From Craigslist:
Very Rare 1939 GM Futurliner one of only 12 made, There are only 9 in existence, two are beyond restoration and are being used to restore other futurliners.
