I put anywhere between 5 and 6 thousand miles a year on mine. My wife and I just got back from VA Beach yesterday which is a tad over 200 miles away. The car performed flawlessly. We had a great time. :chevy

Put maybe less than 400 miles on it this summer. But had it break down twice on me both times we were 3 to 4 hours away from home. Now we are a little nervous to leave the city limits.

Hey Michael! I'm definitely up for the tour this time around. The engine should be in good shape so I should be good to go. I got your e-mail a little while ago regarding the Power Tour. Oh yeah, I'll be there.

If you're with my insurance company, the answer is under 2,500 annually. :D

So far, 84% are hardly driven. Pretty soon they will all be stored safely away for posterity.

256,538 are on mine. Everything has been rebuilt, except the engine.
It still roars smoothly. I drive it pretty much everyday.
It's too much fun to leave at home in the garage.
:yesnod: :steering: :)

usually btn 3 - 5K per year, if I build the 73 the miles will be very low as it would be trailered to the track and just run the 1/4
