From the link, it's a car dealer that says we've got a corvette for sale they claim that was owned by a little old lady.
Not sure how much I believe that story.

Don't be ridiculous!
She probably got the hellcat
On another note, I was browsing for an old supra and found this.
Also owned by an elder lady:

I bought my 2002 GS300 from my mother when she retired from driving. She'd owned it for 12 years and put 32K miles on it. It was literally a car driven once a week by a little old lady.
It gets driven every day now. No leaks, no problems. I've replaced one O2 sensor and the "fan" belt. Other than that just gas, oil and filters.
So it can happen, but then again it's not a 6 speed Corvette either.

A lot of Corvette people do that, buy the car and never drive it. Like its some sort of archaeological relic and their garage is the Smithsonian natural history museum. Personally I have never understood the point of buying a new car and not driving it, its not like you are going to hurt the value if you put a few thousand miles a year on it and only drive it when the weather is nice.
Its not like its a rare 1967 427 big block Corvette, that you spent years restoring to #1 condition and enter in judged shows, where driving it would reduce its value and open you up to rock chips, dirt on the undercarriage, etc.
Also that is a lot of $$$$ for a base model non turbo automatic Mark III Supra. Cool to look at, but not really a performer in my book. Importers have started bringing over the 2.5 R turbo Supra from Japan, seen several go for similar money to that base model red one. That is the one you want, 1JZ-GTE twin turbo, 5 speed manual, recaro seats all stock.
