Default 900 miles. No problem

Vacation to NE Oregon. Visited Crater Lake. Around 900 miles total.
What would you do? Car is 1 of 23 1990 RPO R9G cars. For info on what that means CLICK HERE. Never raced.
Park?Sell? I want something I can go on trips with. Cannot see putting any more miles on a 1 of 23 made heap. Talk amongst yourselves.






NICE LOTUS

OK, may be I'm stupid, but are you saying that this car only has 900 miles on it? If so, I would not drive it, sell it to a collector, and buy a ZR-1.

900 mile trip? Heck, when we took our vacation last month we did 886 in one day! (Banff AB to Sheridan WY).

That is one nice looking C-4.

If you don't feel good about owning a car (owning includes driving), then sell if off.

I drive mine....

If you've got the room and $$$, keep it and buy a decent "regular" C4 for trips/tooling around. Then you have the best of both worlds - collector and daily driver.

Default Youe vette

You have a beautiful corvette. Why would you want to sell it? Enjoy and drive your vette. Vette market is horrible right now. Look at how low the ZR1's are going for. I have sympathy for the current ZR1 owners and the values continue to drop.
