For those in search of a real 6.3

Stumbled across this while looking for budget cars. Clearly this is NOT one of those, but was an interesting find:

Isn't Craigslist the premiere place for those with a cool $320K to blow? I can imagine the lowballers now... "Seriously interested. Would you consider $30K?"

I grew up with one of those, '72 I believe, in our driveway. Was my mother's daily driver while dad's was a Lamborghini 400 GT. I know, tough childhood. The 6.3 was an awesome car but I remember constant air suspension issues. Not sure it's worth +$300k today, but hey I wish them luck with the sale.

Was my "inspiration" for buying the C63 actually .

There is a c63 for sale on cars.com right now and is listed and somewhat of a premium because it was owned by Mark Martin (the nascar driver) supposedly.

Oh, great, a Nascar driver had this car? Surely it wasn't beaten and driven like it was stolen every single day.... Thankfully the c63 is stout but that isn't something I'd list about a car.
