Well, they probably gave some poor old lady $300.00 or less for the car,too.
It was probably an old couples dead son's car or something like that and they just stowed it away,and never would have thought twice about it. That's how I got my 1970 Yenko Nova w/14,000 original miles on it. I paid full sticker price of $4,100.00 for it thought to the old guy. He bought ti new for his son as a gift in 1969 for coming home from Vietnam unscathed. The kid drove it for two years, and died in a car wreck w/friends. The old guy put the kids car in the garage,and closed the door,and never touched it 'till I came along 24 years later and bought it. I've had the car for 13 years now,and have put on maybe 400 miles more in all that time. I know it would ebay for a good $180.000.oo all day long if I would ever part with it..Why should I though?
