My wife drives our 69 RS Z daily. She put just over 10,000 miles on it last year alone. I drive some of our others a similar amount. Year round driving weather in AZ does that.

I always keep one car in Florida and drive it regularly over the winter - probably 500-1,000 miles. The "trailer queens" just get driven around the block several times a year.

Whatever the value of my cars which range from 50K to 200k I drive them at least a tank of gas per year others more not only to replenish fresh cam2 110 leaded but to keep gaskets and seals from drying up. I always say “ you can’t drive them when you’re dead” life is too short.

Each time I make run down the 1320 I add a little more than a mile to mine. By the time I drive from the pits to the lanes, do a burnout, make a run, slow down and drive back it totals to over a mile. So to answer your question, I don’t add too much to the odometer, but I’d be willing to bet my “fun per mile driven” is among the highest percentage! When the Camaro gets finished, should be on par with the Olds. Great topic of conversation by the way!

I don't own anything in that price range ! but my 67 Camaro I built almost 30 years ago gets driven the most & hardest, maybe 600 miles a year ? My "unrestored/survivor" 70 RS Z/28 had 32,266 miles on it when I got it in 2011, now has 33,900, I usually go thru 2 tanks off gas a year in it , And I just recently found a 3 owner 'unrestored/original paint 86,000 mile 68 Corvette 427 coupe, that I plan to let my wife & I drive the hell out of it !!! Life & Work are way to hectic to to have the time be able to get them out more. but mostly I love just hanging in the garage tinkering,& looking at them ,especially during the colder months. But I day dream all day, everyday about them. Just knowing their in the there ready to go when the garage doors comes up !!! sorry for the long post guys

Insure the heck out of them, choose off hours to drive and enjoy the ride.
