I totally agree, and others could do the same.
There are other markets out there also. The price is high because it is not a
reproduction but and original. You never know, your coach if kept in incredible
original shape may be at Barrett-Jackson one day.
That seems to be the way things go.

Speaking of, I wonder how many people would be interested in a
reproduction of this clock? They could be built easily and sold for a
lot less than $500. After I picked my coach up, I was astonished that
anyone would pay so much for one of these. It's an extremely basic
shape cut into a nice piece of wood with a cheap clock tacked on. I
could churn out a dozen of these in an afternoon plus time to let the
finish dry.

Not that I necessarily want to, or have time for such a project. It's
mostly an academic question.
