    $125,000?! Wonder why the museum is selling it? Wonder if it was used as his personal ambulance?

    When I first saw the price I thought it said $12,500.00 I thought to myself "that's a pretty good deal" :oops:

    Then, I realized it was $125K

    I had a similar reaction to Texas Mike.

    Its a car. Doesn't matter who used to own it. Its still just a used car!

    Would you buy a used toilet because Elvis crapped on it? Or a worn old bed if Sinatra slept on it?

    Personally I think the whole celebrity culture is so wrong.

    I'd buy even the plumbing connected to Adolf Hitler's toilet bowl, if it'll progressively increase in value. Modern art is nothing different from what we're writing about here. Just because Andy Warhol paints a Campobell Soup can onto a sheet of canvas doesen't make it any more valuable that the same-sized sheet of wallpaper, for most of us

    Its a pyramid game. Hoping not to be the sucker that loses out.

    In a pyramid scheme, the first to take part in it never loses out. It's the ones at the bottom who end up virtual bottom feeders:

    Well it could be the toilet that he assumed room temperature on. That might make it worth a few bucks more. You could do the cut out cardboard thing and charge a nickel to see it. Have some goldenrod shag carpet and a little red rope cord around it. That gives it a touch of class and authority. Put some popsicle wrappers on the carpet. Twohundred, you’re just not seeing the big picture. Lol

    Could you imagine having that thing in your garage, you go away for a fishing trip. Come home and the wife has scratched the top and hood stacking the Christmas boxes on it. You know you didn’t tell her you paid $125 Big for it. She just thinks it’s an ugly old station wagon. That’s what usually winds up happening to these cherished museum pieces.

    My wife knows what I paid for MY car. She hates it and would gladly scratch it if she could get away with it.
    For her american cars are not accepted. That's why I only have american cars...
