PeopleMover ~ Courtesy of Van Eaton Galleries Do you remember going for a ride on the Disney PeopleMover in the 1970's, 1980's, and 1990's at Disneyland?

This one of only 13 PeopleMovers still in collections was hammered at $ 471,500 , on an estimate of $200,000 to $300,000. It is in excellent condition. A total amount of $1.7 million was raised at the auction.

Disney built a 5,500 square foot home on the site had 17 rooms. Disney built a small scale railroad track on the properties, with trains just large enough to ride in. He sold the home in 1998 for $8.5 million, and the new owner tore down the home and built a tri-level 35,000 home. It had 17 bathrooms and eight bedrooms. The new owner just sold the house for a $16 million discount, as it was listed for $90 million .
