PCC for sale in Colorado

The Pikes Peak Historical Street Railway has put one of its nine SEPTA PCC cars, SEPTA 2131, for sale on eBay for $3,000 (the photo above is from the listing). The listing, for the moment at least, is here. This is the car that at one time was at Sky Sox Park but around 2006 it was moved back to the PPHSR and has been stored at their site, along with the other eight SEPTA cars, since. It has been noted on the PNAERC list as being for sale.

Intriguingly, the eBay listing states that another PCC car has already been sold to a nearby Ford dealership "and will be a diner." Anyone know which car that was and where exactly it has ended up?

  1. Either later this year or by Spring next year, the closed Oregon Transportation Museum will be reopening, this time in the Winston, OR area; and we have already purchased Pittsburgh PCC 1705; and we are in talks with the museum to purchase 2131 as well. As it now stands, 1705 will become our temp office/gift shop and 2131 will be made operational. Anyone interested in helping us purchase this car; or move or refurbish it, please contact us at oregontransportationmuseum@gmail.com Thanks@!

  2. This PCC has now been sold to me and will be moved in October 2018 to McCloud, CA for inclusion in our new McCloud Transportation Park.
