Haters? Come on, this is one of the most reasonable and non-hater forums around. We're being realistic about price and have offered suggestions to strengthen the post.
Here are the facts that make us question the seriousness of the post and ultra-premium pricing.
One terrible picture of said unmolested totally perfect car with no scratches or defects. Buyer is to take take on faith only. No addition pics though promised.
Asking price is almost 10k over what the high-price specialist dealer (Enthusiast) that does a full refresh and only sells immaculate and fully documented cars is asking.
Here's an example of what, at minimum, is required for a higher priced ask. It has over 100 detailed pictures, well under 10k miles, and full documentation.

Could you "ask" this or more with a rarer color interior? Sure. But the mileage pretty much negates that advantage and Enthusiast has a reputation that supports prices.
Bottom line, you've got to do the work to try and sell at higher prices and have the support around that. If the work, pics, and documentation did that you'd see a different response. The objective is to sell the car, if you're not getting the response you want change the sales tactics.
Suggestion: why not contact Enthusiast and see what they'll offer you for your car? If it's as you say, they might want the car. You won't get 49k but you might get a good and reasonable offer from a group that exclusively offers the kind of car you claim to have. People looking for and wanting to pay a premium for quality go looking for cars at Enthusiast. The target market you're after comes to them--that's not something that's easy to achieve in trying to sell a niche car.
