McGrath, owner of JW McGrath Auctions, has listed two metal trusses from the Golden Gate Bridge in California for sale on Facebook for $12,000.

“People just want a piece of history, a chunk or rivet,” he told The Press Democrat.
[–>
The trusses, which are 17 and 37 feet long, were removed during a retrofit of the San Francisco side of the iconic bridge, according to the listing.

McGrath acquired the trusses at a lien auction for a property in Penngrove where they had been stored, SF Gate reported.
[–>
“They’re still sitting where I bought them,” he told the publication. Buyers will have to transport the trusses, which weigh 8,000 pounds and 15,000 pounds, respectively.

The Golden Gate Bridge has been undergoing a seismic refit since early 2002, KRON reported.

Penngrove is a community just north of Petaluma, which is about 40 miles north of San Francisco.
