Rolled Corvette over
100,000 miles. Average ~3k per a year. Was more early on and now averaging about 2k/year. About 4 years deployed on carriers or in the sandbox helped keep the mileage down.
Bought my '75 in spring of 1992 with 16,xxx on the clock. Got it from a dealer in Seattle area. Eventually pulled the tank sticker and discovered that it was delivered in Alaska (and it now lives in FL). Couldn't afford a convertible, 4 speed, chrome bumper so ended up with a convertible 4 speed. L-48, FE-7, 4 speed, vinyl hardtop, rear window defroster.
Daily driver till 2001/2002. Rain, snow, skiing, etc. Cross country twice. 350 rebuilt twice (once for wiped cam, damn you Comp XE lobes), 5 speed swap in 2001. 1982 rear bumper, luggage rack removed, new paint, cloth soft top circa 2005. 496 BBC, Tom's 12 bolt and T-56 swap in 2011. Custom 3x2 EFI in 2013.
Got way too much money in and will never be selling.
Missed the exact rollover.

Congrats! I think. I'm sure mine is over 100K but the speedo/odo only works when it feels like it. Shows 86K for the last 10 years.

Oh- the odometer....much better than the first impression!!!
Nice looking car- like all the subtle mods you have done to it.
My 71 that I have had since 81 rolled over in the summer of 86!!!

Thanks for all the compliments. It doesn't get out of the garage enough but is sitting in the parking lot at work today. Still a little chilly in the AM (49F) but should be in the high 70's this afternoon for the drive home.
