That's not, no matter what it may say, a real Canon camera. It's maybe worth $10-15. I presume it's a film camera? It's got a separate viewfinder pretending to be the pentaprism of an SLR. Canon's never (to the best of my knowledge, and I am reasonably acquainted with Canon cameras going back to before WW II) made a "focus free" lens, and I suspect that one isn't changeable either. It's either a cheap counterfeit or a promotional item (and I'm betting on the former).

SWEET. The lens is optical and has a motor drive!

Yep. Finest f/6.3 50 mm plastic optics in the world . . .

Yep! It's a super-cheap point and shoot film camera wearing a fake SLR body. Definitely not worth more than ten bucks.

And Jon. I like your monoplane. Which year and model is it, do you know?
