Posted by Union Tpke on Wed Oct 15 08:57:50 2014 http://www.ebay.com/itm/331344201409/$24,000 I think all the members on subchat should pool up money on ebay to buy it! Buyer responsible for vehicle pick-up or shipping |Shipping quote available Item location: Brooklyn, New York, United States Ships to: United States Payments: Deposit of US $2,000.00 within 48 hours of auction close Full payment is required within 14 days of auction close Original 1935 R6 NYC Subway Car One Of Only 7 Remaining R6's! This is a rare, once in a lifetime, opportunity to own a major piece of New York City history. For your consideration is an original and authentic 1935 R6 New York City Subway Car. Built in 1935 by the American Car and Foundry Company under contract for the City of New York. This train was contracted for use on the IND line. In the mid 1960's, it was moved to the BMT line, before finally being taken out of service in 1975. There were a total of 500 R6's built for the New York City subway system in 1935 and 1936, this being one of only 7 remaining examples, and one of only two that are privately owned. One end of this R6 had previously been sheared off, to facilitate it being affixed to an existing structure. In other words, one end is "open". Many of the original interior details remain, including the original seats (re-upholstered sometime in the 1980's), ceiling fans and hand straps. The undercarriage had been stripped off in the late 1970's and the entire car now sits on a thin concrete slab. Whether as a restoration product, a retail display centerpiece, or a conversion to be utilized in a restaurant setting, the possibilities are endless. Due to it's current location, it proved difficult for me to get the types of photos I would have liked. Seriously interested parties are encouraged to come and view this piece of history for themselves before bidding. The R6 is currently stored in a private yard in Brooklyn, New York. This listing does not offer any sort of shipping or freight and is considered as "Local Pick Up Only". This R6 is being sold "As Is, Where Is", meaning that all costs and logistics of flatbedding and transporting this train will be at the sole expense of the successful bidder. I had this R6 moved to its current location several years ago, and can tell you that it can indeed be loaded onto a lowboy flatbed for transport. I can possibly arrange to get an estimate for loading and transport to your location upon request. For further information, or any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me via the eBay message system Car '''978''' was converted into a deli (Golden's Deli) at the [[Staten Island Mall]], until the Deli was closed in January of 2012. The owners of the Deli have placed it in storage, but have ultimately decided to sell the car.http://www.ebay.com/...344201409 |
