    "Could this Berkeley be the lowest mileage 1950s “BARN FIND” sports car ever? We do not know, but I would think that it is certainly a candidate. We believe that it is also very likely the lowest mileage Berkeley in existence."

    There must be a lot of Cobra owners looking to get Berkleys for their 10-16 y/o sons.

    For 1/8th the price it could be one of those pain in the ass to restore to original, resto-mod candidates.

    If it is a race car only, why does it have a license plate.? With that mileage, it wasn't raced much, espec. if it was driven to the races.

    rather than the lowest mileage car ever, maybe it's just the most quickly broken odometer ever.

    If they had driven it ten miles beween each modification, it would have a lot more miles than indicated.

    Serious scam.
