My 95 has 58K on it. Nice to see so many have high mileage and cars still run well. I got mine at 53K and will prob put around 5K per year on it. Some vette owners seem so focused on keeping mileage low. I like to drive it , thats why I got it.

95000 miles on my 87. The car is paid for but doesn't seem like it with the money I keep throwing at it.
I made a promise to myself that no matter how long I have this car, when I go to sell, it will be in better shape than when I bought it.
I need to add that it was in good shape when I bought it but it's turning 19 in the fall.
