Whats the most you spent on junk?

56 ford pickup, had over $10,000 in receipts, was a total POS vice grips window cranks tilt front end primer and rust. 351W engine, C4 trans , 9" rear, centerline's 4 wheel disc, serpantine accessory drive belt, power brakes and power steering.
this was mid / late 80s, no kits available for any of it. Custom fan and wrecking yards.

Today it would be a $50,000 Rat Rod.
What ever happened to it?
