This 1978 Tupolev A-3 Aerosledge (chassis N007) is one of 800 or so amphibious ground effect vehicles built in Ukraine between 1964 through the early 80's. The seller says it was designed for Cosmonaut splashdown recovery in Siberia, though from what we've read they were used for less glamorous tasks such as transportation of mail, passengers and light freight in the same region. This one has been restored to what looks like an impressive standard, and sold at Barrett Jackson eight years ago for $187,000. Find it here on eBay in Clarkesville, Georgia with a reserve and unmet $250k opening bid. Special thanks to BaT reader Carson L. for this submission!

Current BaT Auction - Ends Wednesday, January 14, 2015
1/12/2014 Update: This Honda remains available in the same location. Find it re-listed just this week with new photos here on Race-Cars.com for $27,500 (but it is still $25k at the Registry link below with direct seller contact info). Special thanks to BaT reader Chris T. for this update.
From 3/26/2014:
This 1967 Honda S800 (chassis AES800C1003211) has seen continuous race use and development by the same team since 1986. The seller says it's always a top finisher in any field of small-bore cars, and is usually the fastest sub one liter car at any event. Revving its little twin cam, quad carb heart out to 10,000 RPM through every gear over the course of a long race sounds like an unreasonable amount of fun, and the car is said to be one of only three race-prepped S800's in the US. Find it here on HondaSportRegistry.com in Winston Salem, North Carolina for $25,000. Click here to read more... |
