Uneducated owner
This guy must not know driving his car this much will render it virtually worthless 
.
A one owner 63 with 494,000 miles. Owner Steve Stone has driven it to all 48 states, 11 provinces, and DC. The man enjoys his car.

If you ask me, that's pretty freakin' awsome!!!!!! 
A one owner '63 with almost half a million miles?!?!?!? Can't be too many of those around!!!!!
But then mine is a true DD, so maybe I'm coming from a little bit different point of view.

Got to give him credit - he sure knows what the car was built for.

That is excellent- that's why car have tires and an engine... to drive. I'm just wondering what all he's had done to it during the time he has owned it to get it to almost 500K on the odometer?

Was at a car show last fall, the was a guy in his 80's that was original owner of a 58 that he has logged nearly 800K on it. He now has a hitch on it with one of those platforms on the back to carry his skooter.

Miles don't affect value on a classic like that . It all depends on condition and he obviously has used it but taken care of it. Besides only he knows the true mileage on the car because the odometers only went to 100k back then and would turn over and start at zero again , but some of you older guys would already know that.

yeah, I wish my personal odometer would roll over to zero....wouldn't mind being 18 again once or twice more.

Since when is 60k worthless? He could sell that car for over 10x its original price even if it had 1,000,000 miles on the clock

I didn't meet the owner, so no info on that. I pulled the photo from the Mid America Corvette event last September.

Uneducated!! I doubt that. He's the one owner with the 63 vert, remember. The side pipes are aftermarket but the 63's came stock with that hood. The split window has them as well but different luvers on the hood. I hope this guy can put another 100k on his car.
