I would have to say, I've seen cleaner cars with more miles:

10k, I would say that this is a love affair that money can't buy.

Starting bid is a bit high for a car with such a dirty engine compartment.
Gorgeous car...now you know why Regatta Blue rules. :) The special emblems for the 30th are spectacular. And I don't ever remember seeing a digitial odometer with that few miles.
The rust on the valve cover is from moisture in the heads condensing. It's a sign that this car wasn't driven on a regular basis...just sat in a garage. Same, probably, for the rest of the corrosion in the engine bay. The wheels were probably just slightly neglected.
Sadly, Brian is right. It's probably too much money, despite the low mileage. The "bad" parts are things I've seen much nicer on cars with many more miles.
That guy's been drinkin' too much Barret Jackson Kool Aid...
What's with all the low-mileage cars lately having NASTY engine bays?
Layla's bay has 178,000 miles and 4 motors (including an explosion) through it and it looks cleaner. (That could be the oil sheen :hick: )
I'd rock a 30th in a heartbeat. Easily my 2nd favorite 4-eye. There's a nice local one I will own someday...
