Yep, and I've had quite a bit of disgust towards me from other car enthusiasts in the past for buying low mile survivor cars and then driving the wheels off them. They don't get it.

We had a 71 454 vette that was a Bloomington survivor that scored pretty high, had 32,000 original miles. My wife then proceeded to daily drive it for 2 years and I took it to the dragstrip 2 or 3 times. Boy did the corvette people hate me for that LOL. After we had our fun with it I sold it about 15 years ago, it had 49,000 miles on it

I did the same thing with a 92 GMC Typhoon, although not as expensive, it was a nice low mile example. I put about 30,000 miles on it over a 3-4 year period before I sold that one.

My 70 Formula had 60k original miles when I bought it 25 years ago. It now has 170k miles and that's doing some sitting for periods of time for various reasons. My wife has already put almost 50k miles on the 69Z in the last 5 years.
