#1 The price of a T-55?

Does highly organized scrap metal command a premium?

#2 All depends on your local market ship. Where everyone and their mother has a light modern atw you probably couldn't give it away unless advertised as an oversized and grossly overweight industrial dutch oven. In alot of the third world it could still be a formidible ride to own.

#5 A scrap T-55 goes for $18,000 in Pakistan (per StrategyPage). Price is right and they're much more impressive in the driveway than any Mercedes.
