You're paying for great amount of rusted out rotted area, oh, sorry, I mean "Patina". Yeah, that thing is loaded with "Patina", worth ever penny the more you have the better.

It's often been said, "They're only original once". I've got this beauty insured for $30000. LOL.

PS Seriously, I do have my truck insured for $30000. Originally, I figured $12000 was a real stretch, but my agent explained that I could go much higher if I wanted to for a very small increase in annual premium.

To the seller's credit, he is Canadian, and $10K CAD is only about $7500USD at today's exchange rate. Even at that, though, it's still about $7000 more than I'd be willing to give him.
Here is one that is more reasonably priced east of me in Central PA but still definitely not worth the advertised $1000. I don't know what is usable in this one.

There's old good restorations for sale for exactly the same price right next to it. Even in canadian funbucks it's absurd.
