To some it is a piece of art.... a piece of history.... or an irreplaceable object! Put this one in a safe place, or sell it to someone who will.

....then build a copy, and beat the hell out of it, drive the wheels off, chop it, customize it, or paint it to look like a rusty leftover from the early days of rodding.

If it makes you feel better, you can tell them it's an original, and you don't care if it gets wrecked or abused... because it's ugly, and it's YOURS!

In the mean time, the $$$ will be drawing interest, and a priceless relic will be saved. :-)
