IF it has only 27 miles - why is the floor on the drivers side so dirty??

[AQUA XK8]

Good question about the driver's floor, and the air filter looks like it's had considerably more than 27 miles use. I'd love to drive this car, but I would not pay the asking price.

[PENSNO1]

I don't know what I would do. But, I loved reading all the Q & A's. Thanks for the link.

I would have driven it if I'd had it new.....NOW, I'd have to let it sit.

[Jeff Koch]

I wouldn't spend the money in the first place.

But given a chance I might do what I suspect has been done over the years: disconnect the speedo/odo cable and GET ON IT.

I had the same thought Dip.

I think it went for $358,000 last time it was on eBay.

I'd rather have a clone so I could drive it.

If you read all the questions/answers he states it's from him getting in and out while taking pics, but if it's in a temp controlled warehouse, the floor should be clean. The air filter does look dirty, but it's been sitting for decades and started now and then, it could just be falling apart.

Sweet car, and should go to live auction, not Ebay, for that much money, I'd have to see it in person with a squadron of mechanics with me.

Or disconnect the speedo and run a drill backwards until it gets back to the desired mileage. Can't do that with new cars, though.

[Bugzy]

Love the car..definitely would drive it ...if I owned it....
..overpriced IMO...if I wanted it to admire I would buy a Lane Exact detail instead..

Well guys it's like this for me. I just bought a '68 Buick Skylark on Sunday. It has 68,000 miles on it and I drove it home from Akron, OH. I loved the entire trip. I'm gonna clean in up this week and drive it to work everyday. When I'm in it, stress melts away. When I don't drive it, Adam wants to. It's a 10 footer but I can take it anywhere. Best money I spend in a long time and I'm talking in the 3K range.

I don't buy cars to look at them. I buy them to drive them, stone chips, tune-ups, clean-up, wrench turning. I think it is a WASTE to have a car like that with 27 miles. Enjoy it.
