Fox News just put this story on the front page so I thought I'd post an older but more in depth article.

Holy cow! That is a sweet, sweet ride.

[Jet Jaguar]

Pretty car.

[easternsky]

Think I would have liked to have known him

[Army Air Corps]

The car is simply amazing. The mileage is shockingly low.

[PLMerite]

A used car in such nice shape. I’d pay full MSRP for that one, even as old as it is.

[Cvengr]

How many times has the odometer been rolled over?

I have an ‘84 Ford F150XLT with 448,000 miles on it, which is a much better return on the investment.

Can’t get a new one now, until I hit a half million miles.

[Impy]

Ping.

[Fiji Hill]

An old used Chevy. Might be worth a few hundred bucks.

In June of 67 I bought a similar Corvette in yellow with black hood stripe for $3500. Had the big triangular airfilter for the 3x2 carbs. No idea what the mileage was.

Had to give it up less than two years later, just could not afford the insurance, payments, and maintenance. The thing ate motormounts and U-joints constantly.

Oh, to be a rich kid and just have tucked it away for sunny days and waxing it.

It’s not unusual to find very low mileage Corvettes that have been garaged and babied, men (mostly) tend to buy them as sort of a trophy car, a reward, and keep them for weekend driving, always have. I’ve been admiring the later C4’s of late, pretty cheap, engine and trans were sorted out by then, nice proportions, clean lines, fast, fairly reliable and easy to service.

But, this one is bizarre, he just parked it practically new. There’s a story there, the why. Something he couldn’t deal with but couldn’t get past, imho. Maybe a girlfriend or fiancé? Don’t know but it was a time capsule for him.

"I’d pay full MSRP for that one, even as old as it is."

Eh, afterall, it is a used car...

Haha! In your dreams! The manufacturer won't have any say in the suggested retail price for that baby. :-)

And it’s a BB to boot! 427 ci

If it were a convertible, it would bring in well over 1 Million dollars.

Too bad it had a red interior though.

[Rodney Dangerfield]

And I bet the build sheet is in near-perfect condition and still attached to the top of the gas tank.

[The Cajun]

they're estimating this car to sell between $600,000 and $800,000.

Considering the condition, I don't see it going for less than a million, probably a little better than a million.

I saw a license plate on a nice Corvette that was being driven by a good looking woman. It said:

“WAS HIS”

[mabarker1]

AAAAAAAAHHHHHRRRRGGGGG!!!!!!

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Did it look like this:

“WAS HIS”

At least it wasn't a Lamborghini or Ferrari :)

[McGruff]

Beautiful car. My cousin would freak out. He had one similar.
