Why are these cars always sold "for a friend"?
Anyway, I know of a very sweet unrestored original LS6 car that has a few more miles (about 20K) that was acquired for a 1/3 of that price and gives up nothing to this car. The engine on the eBay car sure looks to be cleaned up and repainted to me, that doesn't exactly mean unrestored. I have to now wonder what else may have been fixed up. Not that it isn't a nice example in great shape, but tell it like it is please.
The price is a little ridiculous but doesn't surprise me I guess.
And what's all the whining about not being able to drive it? It runs doesn't it? A few miles here and there aren't going to ruin the value of the car. You could log 5,000 miles and it would still be a sub-10k car. It's taken me 20+ years to log that many miles on my '65 and I try my best to preserve the restoration. But it's got to be driven if for no other reason than to preserve your investment. An idle car deteriorates much faster than one that is driven.
I fully believe in preservation and/or restoration to the Nth degree, but these things are CARS first and foremost.
