'80 L48 with 130K miles and over $20K spent on it including purchase price. Very reliable since I have nearly replaced everything on it .
The '69 has 74K miles but I intend to drive it as often as the weather permits this Winter and then really step it up as soon as Spring arrives.
I do all of my own wrenching in order to keep them both 'drivers'.

79 L48
I have a 79 L48 4 speed w/over 90K miles on it. The engine has been worked on a little but never rebuilt or taken out of the car. A cam, aluminum manifold & new carb, headers & true dual 2.5 exhaust. She runs like a bat out of hell. I keep thinking out pulling the motor & putting in a 350/350 crate or a rat 383 but then I drive my big red dog and think why not wait until I have to do the motor.
PS Wish I could post a pic but I don't know how.
