A towering sculpture of eight cars made famous in the movie Wayne's World is up for sale on eBay.
The suburban Chicago landmark is named the Spindle and features cars from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s skewered on a metal spike.
Bids open at $50,000 US, and the auction closes Thursday. The eBay listing says it will cost $100,000 to ship the 15-metre structure.
The Spindle — also known as the "Car Kabob" and the "Eight Car Pileup" — draws fans of the 1992 comedy starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey.
Berwyn residents are divided on what to do with the structure, which is covered with rust and pigeon droppings. It was supposed to be dismantled last year to make way for a pharmacy, but preservation groups formed and protested.
California artist Dustin Shuler built the piece in 1989.
