Why are you so focused on money? As they say, if you have to ask.....

And anyway, as the press release states:

“This is a rare opportunity to snag a piece of performance history.”


How often do you get a chance to go back and right a wrong? It's a Limited Special Edition and you rarely get a chance to return to the 1960's.

I ought to write this fluff for a living.

Nope, not plastics anymore. Orthodontics. That's where the money is at.

Absolutely true. I know that I have personally paid for a wing on my kids' orthodontist's beach compound.
