It should be in a museum for sure, but the thinking was different back then. People did not put the same value on stuff because they were part of it. We value it because we look from afar. That orange 2 door car I shown you, I sold mine for $900 back in the day. Today it is worth $75,000. My dad made a ferret box out of an old wardrobe on Nanas in the late 60s, he walked past an antique shop in about 1970 and saw exactly the same wardrobe ror $5500!!!!! in 1970!!!!
I swapped a rare 2 door coupe rolling chassis with no rust for a bottle of Jack Daniels, people would pay 10$ for it now.
I pushed rare and hard to get engines into a scrap bin that now people would kill for, but at the time I could not sell.
People did not anticipate the value of things back in the day. So I agree it should be in a museum, but it does not surprise me it ended up as surplus.
Look at all the privately owned movie props now. %0 years from now they will be like the Holy grail
