The value of an Apple-1 computer has reached up to $2.75 million at auction.  Prices vary based on historical significance and condition.

These rare computers (only about 60 to 70 remain) are highly sought after by museums and collectors.

I remember seeing an Apple Macintosh in the 80's. I think it was a UK specific thing. Not sure if they are rare.

That's what I paid for my Jeep. 2025 Wrangler. But it isn't exactly "average" either.

It's harder to love and create than hate and destroy. Love and creation takes more energy. Where hate and destruction can be done with a single word that can haunt you for a life time.

I think the Rubicon models start in that range.

They are functionally the same as the Wrangler or Willys, but with more bells and whistles to push it toward luxury-car status. I couldn't justify paying the higher price for extras that I don't need or want. Originally, the Rubicon had better off-road capabilities, including locking differentials, a sway bar disconnect, and a higher towing capacity. Those are now becoming standard, as I have them without the higher price tag. I just didn't pay $1,000 for floor mats.

Id love a 40s era Willie's. I want to restore it. Complete with a 4 banger and manual 4speed. It would be so much fun to cruise around town. It would get looks if I mounted a 30 cal in the back. People would think twice before pulling in front of you. Ha ha.
I found a basket case on line for $2500. Right now, it's a time and money thing.

For the 2025 model, Jeep brought back a new color called '41 in honor of the old Willys Jeep used by the Army. Of course, I had to have that!

There are some people who own actual US Army jeeps of the past, they have no roof.  Maybe there was a snap on canvas roof?  I can only go by old movies!

Yes, exactly. They were heavy canvas with soft plastic windows. The support bars folded down and the top was folded up and put out of the way.

You can get them from a basket case to fully restored.  Basket case are going for $1-2 thousand fully restored about $30,000 or more depending on the authenticity of the restore

There is a 14 year old on the ticket running for governor of Vermont.  There is no minimum age to run for this office in Vermont.  For details, search the Internet.
