Thanks for posting & sharing.
I guess between $15K to $25 K ?
But the auction is in Texas & there's big $'s in the Lone Star State & some of those cowboys might bid up to a Million Dollars for it just to have bragging rights

I'd like to have it, but I'd paint it all black, dark tint the windows & lower it (LOL)

It will be interesting to see what our member's post on what they believe the highest bid will `be ?

What are you bidding ? or think that it will go for ?

I will say $10,500 and may go a couple grand higher if there is a charity involed.

Now if this was a guess following the "Price is Right" rules .... guess that is closest to the actual sell price without going over wins.... than I say $1.00

Wow - Primestar. Satellite TV by the cable company TCI. I closed a few Primestar warehouses when I worked for TCI.
