I didn't think such thing existed..

It could be modified. Sherry Krauter or DAG can replace with one, I believe. Besides it could be a mistake by the lister.

The camera in the picture is definitely a .72 classic, but the description in the box (which seems to have been lifted verbatim from some brochure or ad) says "M6TTL". The seller has 100% positive feedback for 43 auctions but it seems like he doesn't know Leicas very well. $1800 buy-it-now for a .72 M6 classic and IV-gen 35 Cron is a decent price, assuming they are in good condition and don't need service. Still and all I personally wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Call me chicken but I wouldn't buy any big-ticket item from the bay.

The actual description looks like it was written by the user. Still there, he said this is a .58 viewfinder.

and it's a 'big m6' to boot.

No mistake, the M6 TTL was made with the .58 VF. See http://www.nemeng.com/leica/002ba.shtml

Edited to add that if this is one or not would be hard to tell from the photos.

I'm certain the classic M6's are all .58's. The .72's and .85's are M6 TTL's.

I think it might be the other way around. I think all the classics are .72 and the TTL's had the option of .58, .72, and .85
