owning a Pope-mobile

Do I really want to own this car once owned by a famous person?  The car, a blue 1976 Ford Escort, was once owned by Pope John Paul II.  I owned a Ford Escort at one time and it was a very satisfactory car.  However, I did not pay $300,000.00 for it. That's the estimate of what the Pope John Paul car will sell for at the ACD auction this weekend.  Currently I own a Fiat 500L which, coincidentally, is the same kind of car Pope Francis rode around in when he was in the US last year.  I think that's as close as I'm going to come to owning a Pope-mobile. Maybe someday, when I'm fabulously famous, someone will want to pay big bucks to own my little Fiat?? I'm pretty sure that falls into the "don't hold your breath" catagory.
