They will last indefinitely as long as they are properly maintained and repaired. There are 1953 Corvettes still "alive" today although they are rarely driven due to their rarity since they only made 300.

C1's C2's and C3's will last forever as they can be redone frame off and reproduction parts are available everywhere... that cannot be said for C4's and up since the market is not in restorations parts yet and the body is kind of glued to the frame... so if we keep our original low mileage C4's in good condition it might worth more than to restore one in a few years from now... Specially the ZR-1's

I drive that on the way to work. Then on the way back. 5 days a week, and then some. 80 miles on your car is bonkers. 87 'vette or Fiero?

well said. plus vette's are a high interest car supported by the aftermarket better than most.
