Rare low mileage finds.

Has anyone been at the right place at the right time to find a very low mileage, original old car?

I have found 2;
a 1967 (?) AMC Rebel, with 17,000 original miles. It had been in storage for 30 years. It was all original, with tired paint, but rust free and pristine inside. I did not scoop it right away, because it has NO options. 199cid straight 6 with a 3 speed standard, column shift, rubber floor mats and a really plain interior. Silly me, I was looking for a V8, and the owner sent it to a wrecking yard for $50 before I came to my senses. I did not realise that it was RARE because it had no options and such low mileage.

The next one is available right now; a 1963 AMC Rambler 660 4door. Its really plain and square, with 4 doors; a real old-man's car. But its rare again, because it has only 24,000 miles, been in storage for 35 years and it has an aluminum 199 cid 6 cyl engine. This engine was made in aluminum, best I can find out, for part of one year only. I guess cast iron was cheaper to make. Anyways, $100 might pick it up.

Too bad these two rare cars are so plain and basic. Where are the $100 Hemi Chargers?? :evillol:

Any other stories out there?

Rare ones that I've found and bought on the spot:

1973 AMC Hornet Sportabout wagon, 1700 miles
1987 Olds Cutass Salon, 32,000 miles
1973 Impala Station Wagon 454, 58,000 miles

There is one that I still want. The condensed story goes like this. My friend's Aunt was a Pediatric MD in Yonkers, NY. She never had a car since her practice was in her house. She retired in 73 and bought herself a car; a 73 Camaro RS, 350, automatic, white vinyl, blue with white stripes. She had it delivered to her house and put in her first-floor garage. No windows, no dampness, just dark and dry. It came to her house with 26 miles on it. She got in it the first day, sat down, and had a stroke. Her right side is partially paralyzed so she doesn't drive. Right now in NYC there is a 73 Camaro RS with 26 miles that has not seen the light of day since the day it was purchased. I offered her $15,000 but she declined. Smart lady.

You can put the blue book away with that Camaro. According to Collectible Automobile Magazine, back in 1968, a Lincoln Mercury dealer owner liked the then-new Lincoln MkIII so much he bought one and put it in his basement family room of his house (I guess they had a large house; the hood is big enough for a pool table. )
Anyway, it stayed there until he died in the early '90's. His family sold it in the high 5 figures, (with 75 miles) but will not disclose the amount.
