Machines do not look that good sitting in an office for 35 years. The papers are pristine white. A mint Flash would not go for more than 3K.
It's tell tale signs like having every single piece of documentation that it would be a HUO. Those papers would have been sandwiched between other papers together within the original envelope - couple that with a consistent humidity inside the cab or stored elsewhere and yeah the paper would remain in near perfect order. I've got manual documents of similar vintage and they look comparable. Also, that warranty card is made from a heavier GSM paper stock so doesn't discolour as much as thinner paper.
Amazing condition. Dreaming about the price. Hopefully it comes with Jousting Sticks.
