Not completely the kids' fault. Their dads (and moms) didn't teach them. Much
stuff is no longer fixable (i.e. throw away). Regulations make many potential
DIY projects illegal. Expensive (and dealer-only) test equipment needed for
many tasks. Planned (or maybe just negligent) obsolescence

I owned and restored one of these in tobacco brown/cognac leather. It won
national MBCA concours awards, and sold for $13k (this was in 1997). This
one on BAT is very unattractive but has already climbed to $33k.

I don't think that's happening.
At least the melted Delorean was worth a $60 starting bid.

Any fool can tow 35k pounds. It takes a bigger truck than that to get it

Semis are allowed to run 34k on a set of tandems, so with at least 1000lb is
hitch weight, you can do it with 8 semi trailer tires. If you put 20% on a
fifth
"$35k lbs". That sounds about right.
