I'll guess 35k cash would buy it. The cars are the only thing worth any money. If it was a money generating operation doubt they would be selling. Serious electrical for that to operate.
Won't fit in the back yard and the war dept. was very clear that it better not be showing up in the driveway :-) Can always hope the lottery hits...

Those bumpers cars were working and were money makers. I and probably Larry (mills 400) rode in them many times as kids. I also as an adult with our kids.  They were from the old KIddie Land in melrose park, Il.  The other carousel they have for sale was also from kiddie land. The merry go round form Kiddie land was bought by the late Frank Zygmunt (some of you may know him form the chicagoland show) for 350k. The park was closed down due to a family dispute, one half owned the park, the other half owned the land. Costco made them a huge offer on the land which the park owners could not match  veryangry
