It is an old car. Very old. It is a 1970 model to be precise. And the owner Michael Rystenberg is getting $350,000 for it. But he has turned the offer down.

Michael Rystenberg of Albany told ABC that selling this car "would be like selling one of my children."

Rystenberg bought this car in 1988 for $17,500. This 1970 GTHO Phase II Ford Falcon had raced in Bathurst. His old vehicle is in high demand now. ABC reports that Rystenberg has received multiple offers of $350,000. He said, "I knocked it back three times."

Sentimental value of this car is very high for Rystenberg but he conceded that higher price might be accepted. He told ABC, "If you throw a million at me I might think about it."
