>From a collector's perspective it can be a big deal, though very hard to prove. It would be more believable if you met the seller and saw how anal he was about his other stuff. An even bigger deal is buying a car still in MSO, or even more, in MSO combined with all the wrappers still on the car. Here is an example that goes way over the top. http://www.mcsmk8.com/92-CAD/92CAD.html You could do this exact same thing with a Corvette. They will let you walk in to the factory, order the car, watch it being built, and drive it home. You could, essentially, drive it into a trailer so it never gets rained on and unload it at your home. That would drive me nuts.

While we're ripping on this auction, why do people get so excited about whether these cars have been driven in the rain or not? "DRIVEN IN THE RAIN ONLY ONCE" .. Who cares? I've had people come up to me and say, "I can't believe you drive that car in the rain." I respond, "Strictly speaking, this car has more business being out in the rain than yours. Mine won't rust. I can't believe you drive in the rain - that's just a rustbucket waiting to happen." Anyway, I asked him a question. Wonder if he will respond?
