Hagerty estimates the value of a perfectly preserved example at about $450,000 while RM Sotheby's pre-auction estimate is in the $500,000 to $575,000 range, factoring in the celebrity ownership.

Kid Rock appeared this week on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" to discuss cancel culture.
"I'm not in bed with any big corporate things. At the end of the day, there's nobody I'm beholden to. No record companies, no corporate interests, no nothing. And you can't cancel me. I love it when they try," Kid Rock said.
