Beautiful car, but no way I'd pay that price for it.

26 miles is the killer though.... my lord.

Did they just drive it home from the dealer and let it sit.

Poor, poor corvette. The problem is, if you buy that car you can't drive it. My car has more miles in reverse than that thing.

Wow! Time capsule for sure.

But as has been stated, the minute you start driving it, it will lose a ton of value...

A ten year old car with 26 miles. Even if you wanted to drive it all of the seals would probably have to be replaced. Shame the car probably dry rotted in the garage. I would rather have one with 26000 miles. I guess I'll stick with my 01 vert with 150,000.

I could see it bringing that price at auction. Buyer will without a doubt keep it under 30 miles. That car will never see the road. There's more like that.

I'd rather it had 2600 miles than 26. That means it wasn't driven enough to keep the oil flowing across the gaskets and other parts that depend on it to preserve them. Unless it was started and allowed to run on a regular basis someone is in for a lot of engine and other work. New gaskets, hoses, tires, etc. You can tell someone already replaced the seat skins.
