Plastic Model Bus Description, Bus Collector Value ($US) and Notes...

The toy bus has the name "Atlantic Express" on both sides of it and the back. The license plates have the year "2000" on them. the toy bus is gray and black and the words and decals are in pink and purple.

The toy bus was just recently appraised by James Martin of Whatsitworthtoyou,com. It was appraised at $110,000.00 replacement value and $44,000.00 fair market value. Checking with the Guinness Book of World Records this is the highest price ever appraised for a model toy of any kind. Pictures of the toy bus were donated to the September 11, Photo Project which toured cities throughout the United States. Toy bus was also filmed and became part of a Travel Channel Special. The Library of Congress even asked authorization to use all of my Ground Zero photos in their archives of which the toy bus was part of the photo collection. It is believed the toy bus was located on one of the upper floors of the South Tower and on impact of the second airplane the toy bus was blown clear across the street onto the Hilton Millenium Hotel roof where it was recovered and photographed. This tiny toy bus now travels the road on history!
