Sale price? $1500. And that's before the seller has to pay the consignment fees
There's usually no money in rolling stock.

I actually had a used car salesman tell me, about a car I was not interested in anyway, something very valuable!

Never, ever get limited production and a sales failure confused.

A Porsche 959 a Ferrari F40 a McLaren F1 are limited production, and very desirable, cars. Copo Camaros, Boss 302 Mustangs desirable.

A Cadillac Allante, a Buick Reatta, the Mustang 600, just about any car build by the big three with the badge "Limited" are not rare because they are limited, they are rare because they were sales disasters. As I read once "Limited" is generally only limited by the number they can sell.
