Default $354,000 Chevelle LS6

This is the auction that was on Ebay in May for the 26 mile Chevelle. The smallest description and some of the worst pictures I have ever seen!!! Did this car really change hands at this price????

From what I have heard yes the car did exchange hands for that amount of money.
In ten years we will probably look back and say that it was a bargain.

The buyer is supposedly planning to resell it.

I can understand that this car is an extreme rarity having only 20 miles on it. To that extent it makes the car somewhat 'priceless'... in other words try to find another one.

Does the uniqueness of the car justify a $269,000 premium over the 70 LS6 (20Mile, almost entirely original car) currently for sale for $85k in the 'For Sale' section? 20,000 is still damn low mileage!!!!

At a $14 'penalty' per mile , every 1,000 miles driven would cost ya $14,000!!

I guess it is extremely deep pockets involved in the collecting of muscle cars these days. I would hope that these cars are really being enjoyed and not just hidden away as objects of art or being bought and sold purely as commodities.

Enjoyment is in the eyes of the purchaser...obviously it was not enjoyed on the road for all these years...
