Because $83,000 isn't a lot of money to you; and the best part about having 
money is being able to spend it as you please.  Especially if you didn't have 
to work for it in the first place.

If the description is accurate, it might even be worth that much.  True 
collectors place a premium on "original" as opposed to "restored".  And as with 
any "collector" object, it is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.
