Probably 30+ years ago, one of the many long-defunct car magazines had a story about a guy in (I think...) North Carolina who was the original owner of a 59 Impala 2 door hardtop with 348 and 3-on-the-tree. He drove the car about 25 miles and put it up on blocks, and there it stayed. It was incredibly well preserved. I've always kept an eye open for any further info about this car, but have never seen anything anywhere. It's gotta be out there still.....

----And then there's the "12 mile" red 70 LS6 Chevelle. Now, I think in the mid 20's (that's "twenty miles") but maybe a mile or two more. Even it was molested as the smog system was gone, and, of course, replaced now. I drove it from 16 miles up to twenty....Bill S
