Last Sky Commuter prototype finally sold for $131,700

After eyeing this item for the past 10 days, it is finally sold. The Sky Commuter prototype, which was listed on eBay Motors and had been generating quite a buzz in the media, has been sold to an eBayer by the name of prattesgirl

The Sky Commuter Project was funded by Boeing engineers in Arlington, WA, back in the mid 80's in hopes of replacing wheeled cars with flying ones. With over 60 investors and $6 million in R&D fund, the project went bust and yieled only 3 prototypes. However, the one listed on eBay was the only one that survived.
