Watch and be surprised. I think that car will top 100K. Not that I think it's so great, but there is a group of collectors where cars with super low miles and never registered, trumps stupidity as far as storage methods. This little group of people will pay stupid money to own that car. Here is further proof. My friend who buys and sells cars like this for a living just sent me a link to a 2006 Honda
S 2000 with 90 miles on it that sold for 80K. That's right? A copy cat Miata slightly quicker for double it's original inflated price. Somebody just had to have a "new" one. In the same E-mail he sent me a 2006 GTO with 7000 miles on it that couldn't crack 32K? Too many miles at 7000. The "new" factor carries allot of weight for some people. The Grand Nationals and silver anniversary Corvettes were the first cars I was exposed to where customers bought them new with the intention of not driving them. I remember one guy who ordered a Grand National and specifically wanted the carpet covers and window sticker left on it. He didn't want it prepped. Some dumb ass at my dealer prepped it anyway and he refused to take it. It was a big fiasco. It ended up being traded to another dealer and sold. I predict 108K when the auction ends.
