the reall background story is at

but in a nutshell "The family bought the car in 1970 from its second owner in the parking lot of a Holiday Inn in Wisconsin. The first owner was actually General Motors, who purchased it new in '67 and reverse-engineered the drivetrain. When the bill of sale (for $5,500) was passed onto the Neilsen's, the Miura had under 900 miles on the odometer. Today, it's got 18,000 and change."

  1. This car was featured on Chasing Classic Cars a few years back.... Wayne couldn't pry it out if the owners fingers at the time. They opened up the garage to look it over, then closed er back up...
