I would also say buy it. Some collector would probably buy it at that auction and turn it into a "trailer queen". Buy it, fix it up, enjoy it on the road, and then later on down the road either sell it for cancer research money or you could donate it to the American Cancer Society. BTW how much did they ask for it?
