excerpt:
"WHAT’S IT WORTH? A chuckle or two, in retrospect. As for resale value, an online search for Alliances unearthed mostly used parts, though a few models were being offered for sale at prices from $525 to a pie-in-the-sky $4,000. Ours went to a junkyard in 1990 for about $100. We probably got the better end of the deal."
