PA Diner Featured In TV Show Could Be Yours For $50K (Photos, Videos)

The American Dream is for sale — or the diner is at least. 

A 1953 Deraffele stainless steel diner building is looking for a new owner and a new property. 

The building is listed for $50,000, on Facebook Marketplace.  

The building is famously known as the American Dream Diner which was featured in the 1985 opening credits of One Life To Live. You can spot the diner in the clip in the player below at the 14-second mark.

(From Wiki) One Life to Live (often abbreviated as OLTL) is an American soap opera broadcast on the ABC television network for more than 43 years, from July 15, 1968, to January 13, 2012, and then on the internet as a web series on Hulu and iTunes via The Online Network from April 29 to August 19, 2013. Created by Agnes Nixon, the series was the first daytime drama to primarily feature ethnically and socioeconomically diverse characters and consistently emphasize social issues. One Life to Live was expanded from 30 minutes to 45 minutes on July 26, 1976, and then to an hour on January 16, 1978. This Clip aired in August 1985. It appeared during a broadcast of "One Life To Live" on KVIA Channel 7 in El Paso Texas. KTSM was the ABC Affiliate in El Paso TX.

“I‘m selling the building itself, which must be moved using a moving company to your own land/property,” the listing states. “The building will need to be dissembled into two halves in order to be transported. You must figure out the moving/transporting situation - I can not be of any support. Must be moved by end of August or beginning of September.”

The seller notes that as long as the listing is posted on Facebook Marketplace it is available.
