if you have more money than sense, you can buy this wreck for 22 thou, and probably blow 200,000 thou to get it restored
The restoration company that is desperate to sell this wreck (worse in person than in the photo) wants 22 thou, but if you'll blow all your nest egg on restoring it in their shop so they can stay in business and put their kids through college, they'll knock 30 percent off and you can then call it yours (as long as they profit on the restoration) for 15 thou

Reminds me that last August, 30 of Reggie Jackson's cars burned in a garage fire: http://www.nytimes.com/1988/08/05/us/fire-destroys-30-classic-cars-collected-by-reggie-jackson.html "Firefighters estimated damage to the building at $800,000 and to the contents at $3.2 million. The cause was not immediately determined. "

One of the most impressive photos I've seen, the Oct 1895 Granville-Paris Express wreck
The engine careened across almost 98 ft of the station concourse, crashed through a 2 foot thick wall, shot across a terrace and sailed out of the station, plummeting onto the Place de Rennes 33 ft below, where it stood on its nose. All on board the train survived, five sustaining injuries: two passengers (out of 131), the fireman and two conductors; however, one woman on the street below was killed by falling masonry. The accident was caused by a faulty Westinghouse brake and the engine drivers who were trying to make up for lost time. A conductor incurred a 25 franc penalty and the engine driver a 50 franc penalty.Via: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/19/Train_wreck_at_Montparnasse_1895.jpg
