Vintage New York City subway car sells for $235,700 at auction
NEW YORK -- A vintage New York City subway car that went up for auction has sold for 35-times the starting bid.
In June, the only remaining Redbird train car was put on the auction block with a starting bid of $6,500. It sold for $235,700.

The buyer has not come forward.
