An authentic buggy from Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride that’s been repainted and restored (the headlights really work!). This one dates back to 1993 and was sold for a whopping $87,000! Yeesh. We’ll have to stick to showing our allegiance to Mr. Toad with the more affordable offerings at Friar’s Nook (remember THAT burger?). Sold For: $87,000

Dating back to 1965, this Skyway Gondola is a rarity. Not only are these vehicles difficult for collectors to find (especially with all its pieces), but this one was likely used at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Sold For: $162,000
Complete Park-Used Original Autopia Car c. 1967

Autopia is constantly reinventing itself with new vehicles. That’s what’s so cool about seeing this 1967 model. While it may not be functional anymore, it does comes with an original Autopia Mark VII insignia. Sold For: $180,000

If you were a kid and aspiring astronaut in the late 1960s, you probably rode Disneyland’s Rocket Jets attraction.

Definitely not a ride vehicle, but this bell was used on one. It was originally found on the Rainbow Caverns Mine Train attraction in Frontierland and later as a decoration on a Disneyland food court when the original attraction closed.

Yes, they’re cups. But they’re vintage Disneyland cups. Bet you won’t find these at Club Cool.
1956 Disneyland Ticket Book

Imagine “A Day at Disneyland” for the low, low price of … $2.50. Wouldn’t it be nice if the park still accepted these attraction tickets? The current Walt Disney World ticket prices aren’t cheap, after all!
