My station-wagon cost less! (ok, it was through my husband's work contacts) but seriously.....:). Was just thinking....if Craigslist got a hit list going....we'd all be on it:). Even our really expensive vintage machines are more realistically priced. Laughing from the land of Aus......

There are comments at the bottom, someone asked if $89K was a typo and the answer was "no ... saw one like it valued at $500K on Antiques Roadshow a few years back". Also note that the first question was answered that he was "in the process of having it appraised".

You just can't make this stuff up can you?
