If it really is such low miles, why is the overflow tank totally yellowed out ???

Windshield resov. looks pretty fresh. Take a close look at the underside hood cut-outs, perfectly clean. I'd like to get close to this car. We're talkin' some cowbell.

What a shame to keep that car stabled for so long. I'd prefer a 50k mile car to this, unless I was just going to park it in a museum. Why would someone drive such an amazing car so little?

Judging by the omission of a price and the only other one w/o a price is the Ferrari I would imagine a very healthy some indeed. Did anyone look at their other listings? Broke my heart, I had the exact same Healy 3000 with 61k on it when I rolled it six times (I was pronounced dead) Damn $70.000 I paid $800.00 and a LB of "Mexican green"for mine in 1973 so a total of $890.00

I wonder if they take body parts as partial payment.

This always reminds me of the Top Gear episode where they had a private owner lend them an enzo and the guy didn't even drive it there. He flew in by helicopter and flew out as well.

I know a Ferrari is a little bit different but the owner of this car comes off as not really looking at the car as just a car that should be used.

I bet I could last... maybe a day without driving it then I would put on more miles in one week then he did in five years.

Yep, asking $75 K and they say they have a deposit on the car. That will reset the market. As much as I like these cars, I can't see paying 1988 List for a car 20 years later.

I can't see my lifestyle ever allowing me a white leather interior.

again how about the Healy that is 10x the original price. And realistically you couldn't drive the Healy on the freeway without some Escalade or Hummer running over you.If I had the disposable income I would buy it. 75k in todays dollars is less than 58k twenty years ago.except ofcourse in income

Yes, sports fans, it can be yours for a mere $75,000. Cowabunga!

I don't think it'll reset the market, it'll just raise some unrealistic expectations amongst those who may have a relatively clean, realistically low miles, M6. That said, there seems to be a lot of $40-50k asking prices for cars under 50k miles.

Still showing on their website. I guess $ 58K was a little steep.
