Interesting. Not sure that sitting for 30+ years has done any of the gaskets, hoses, etc. good though. Also count me as a NO when it comes to 'original dust'. Looks like less than a thousand miles so that's in its favor, however the price of these cars has really come down. 70k is getting close to gnx territory.

Blvd. Buick GMC in Signal Hill Ca has a brand new one on their showroom floor.Marked not for sale.FWIW,Tom

At what point would you realize that MAYBE we should put a cover over it. You just can't fix STUPID. That car is worth about half that price as far as I am concerned.

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.

The CA car is kept impeccable.Tom

Do you guys feel the same way about your "typical" under 1000 mile 79 TATA'S?

[Chris65LeMans]

Never dealer prepped, but 757 miles on it?

Probably the only car I wish I had never sold.

[TAKerry]

Im sure it will sell for big money. There was a TATA that sold for something like 150k plus that had maybe less than 100 miles. At least that owner had a routine of starting it once a month to keep things fresh.
There was a local guy that bought an indy vette new. Had less than 100 miles or so and he stored it. Pulled the engine and stored parts in oil drums, did preservation kind of stuff to the rest of the car. Never heard anything else about it. Every once in awhile when I see one I think back to that car.
I have said before when I see these 'modern' no mileage cars come up for sale, that the original buyer most likely would have seen a much better return on their money if they had invested in gold instead of a car.

So dirt can hold moisture. Moisture can cause corrosion. So when storing a future equity car that I won't drive, I would insure a dirt top to bottom covering. Yup.

[David Jones]

750 miles makes it a used car, in my opinion.

Sad. To have something like that and not be able to use it.

[mgarblik]

I actually didn't catch the 757 miles on the car first time around. That is puzzling. It does probably mean this car has the optional digital dash display hated by many. If it was a cable drive analog, there is no doubt it would have been visited by a cordless reversible drill and show no mileage or just a couple. That's all part of the game, unfortunately. That 757 miles is probably a $10,000.00 hit in value to these kind of "collectors".

[dataway]

When actually comparing selling price on a car like that to the money you would have made investing your money in a more conventional manner, more often than not you would have been better off with a good financial adviser and a portfolio. Not always ... but in the majority of the cases.

Looks like an analog one to me. It’s in the photos.

You bring up a good point, though. Can I do a high dollar restoration on a car, roll the odometer back, take the license plates off, and sell it as “never delivered?”

As for comparing the investment amounts - if you bought a house in California with 37k down in 1987 and found a renter to pay the mortgage, you’d have a $700,000, paid off, house today.

Yea, it's that kind of thinking and smart moves that separates people with secure retirement and future ...........and me!

Your right about the gauge cluster. Cudos for leaving the miles on it, whatever the reason for them.

[1965gp]

This will pull significant $$. I have a GN and the market is either $9000 pieces of crap or $25k-$30k nice drivers. This car will need some work obviously but it’s an iconic car. I would guess $50-$60k.

[NeighborsComplaint]

If only those 757 miles could speak, what a story they would tell.
