Nah he actually sold it in ‘96 to raise funds for charity.   It sold again in 2005 for $690,000, so the $150,000 estimate is perhaps a lot low.

Was that one of the miracles that got him canonized?

Didn’t all the later ones have the square lights? Mind you 1976 is an early one.

I’m not sure tbh all I know is that 99.9 % of the mk2's you see nowadays are round lights

You could only use that gif if it was still 1996...   Though I am stealing it even though I was its target...

Yep, the one he used to sneak out in apparently.

Possible, or there’s a Blessed Ziebart of the Waxoyls somewhere in Europe.

The straight and informative response was more clever than mine.  Tried to make it up on the volley.
