Default Not much

'10 GS 400 miles
'07 Vert. 1000 miles
'00 FRC. 0 miles (need to finish)
'93 Vert. 500 miles
'72 Cpe. 0 miles
'72 454. 0 miles
'65 Vert. 0 miles

The '00 FRC and 65 Vert will be on the road in 2014. The 1st 72 is getting a new home and the other 72 is just getting comfortable, waiting for the '65 and '00 to get finished before getting torn apart.

Buying and selling a home and moving really dented my car activities this year.

I hope all the posters on this thread are within their collector car insurance mile limitations.

I am certain that that number is incorrect...rumor has it that there should be approx. 94,000 miles (broken odometer which I have repaired).

Now.....as for the total miles that I have driven it since I acquired it in Oct. '13................00000.1 LOL (the dash wiring was too butchered to risk a harness fire)




Question: Should I advance the odometer to the 94,000 which it should be reading?

0 this year due to life circumstances. The car sat in storage for about 8 months. I have it back now and am making progress. Hopefully next summer will have some good miles. Oh I did drive it up the driveway if that counts. Maybe 50 feet!

Congrats! It counts!


Question: Should I advance my odometer to 94,000....which would be very close to the actual mileage....rather than 54,000 ?

After 2.5 years, I was finally able to get the 76 on the road and put a total of one mile on her!
Next year I hope to have a bunch logged.

2000 miles almost on the money.
Kills me a little bit since I bought it in April with 42K miles. Now 44K.
I'll be up to 47+K after power tour this year. Kills me more but I refuse to own a car I cant drive.
Also put 1K on my 68 cutlass.

131 miles.

Lots of turned heads, thumbs up, and waves. Passing by a Subway, and I could see this dude waving for his kid to come see, come see. They both waved. It was pretty cool.

Hopefully with a new battery and new paint, 2014 will see her out for alot more miles and sharing the timeless style of the C3.
