How many miles ?
Hi everyone, I have had my Corvette on the road now for about 18 months we try and get out in it every weekend even if just for a short trip
Here's the question how many miles do you travel in your Corvette in 12 months ?

I've had my '69 3.5 years now but have only been able to put about 150 miles on it. 
Year 1: Suspension
Year 2: Frame off
Year3: LS swap
Year 3.5: Paint stripping/body work.
Every time I get it running I take it to work once or twice then tear it back apart to keep the restoration going.
Seems like it's taking forever but maybe next summer I can drive it more than normal.

Annual mileage for several years was about 2000/year prior to installing an O/D transmission (700-R4); it has been 3000+ since O/D installation. But, I bought a '65 Pontiac Grand Prix this spring, so my mileage for each car is only about 1500 miles this year.

Just over 15,000 miles this year alone. We have taken several road trips all over the country. We live in Syracuse Indiana, we have traveled from Florida to Colorado, to Pennsylvania. All around the Great Lakes, visited the UP of Michigan. So many memories. We love the car. We are thinking of one more trip to Tenn. for Thanksgiving. Al
