There is a GT5 for sale on ebay. Looks like a really nice car with only 3000 miles. It is in Long Island, New York. Does anyone know anything about it?

Yes, this is the second 80's DeTomaso they've had in recent weeks. First one sold so fast at $47k the salesguy has jacked the price up on this one. Car is stock, no upgrades. Salesguy looking for a "discriminating collector who can appreciate this stock quality car." He practically gagged when I mentioned making recommended upgrades. No rust, low miles, brandy snifter not included.
I am the guy that got the red 1986 GT5-S
@ $47,000. Mine was a clean, low milage car.
As to the GT-5 now shown, if it is an original 3,000 mile car, why the aftermarket wheels? This question begs some reflection.

[70'S] AND HE WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

The Internet Nazi's firewall at work prevents me from seeing the pix, but going to aftermarket rims may be a reality ALL widebody car owners will face some day due to lack of tires for the stock rims.
If he went to larger rims, I wouldn't think twice about the "why", because tire choice and availability is much better. There simply aren't any front tires available new from any source. If he put aftermarket 15" rims on, then it is a good question as to "why"...

They are 15 inch Gotti's. Very popular and expensive, aftermarket Pantera wheels during the '80s and early '90s.
FWIW, I don't think that has anything to do with whether the car has low miles, or not.
