autotrader - just plug in what you're looking for, low miles, and expand the search area to 'any distance'

Who wouldn't like a clean, low mile LT1? The problem is that those cars are over 10 years old and aren't always driven by a grandma to church and back. Good luck with your search though.

Also, for a lot of kids, this is the car that they learn all of their mechanics related lessons. Unfortunatly that leaves a lot of molested LT1's sitting around.

If I was selling my car, I'd make sure to mention that NO woman has driven my car.

i got my z with 71k miles in 2003. i dont know how hard it was run but the camaro was in almost perfect shape, except the kid i bought it off of had it for a week before he spun around on the interstate and hit a gaurd rail head on. it totalled it but i got the motor, tranny, rear end, and loads of other parts for 1500, and ive already sold 500 dollars worth of parts. anyway, basically im saying there is a few low mile LT1's around but they are pricey, and youd almost be better off buying a high milage one and rebuilding it.

i bought my 94z28 in 1997 with 11,000miles and now has 30,000miles on it. lady i bought it from didn't drive it often and had to be stored alot in the garage cause the car was in perfect shape and still is since its a garage queen with me as well. you could always tell a local dealer what you want and to call you when he finds one.

Haha I was thinking the same exact thing when I click on this thread


Anyways good luck finding one mint.

I know my car isnt mint, for some reasons big SUVs are attracted to it. I have gotten hit three times in parking lots while my car was all by itself not moving. THREE TIMES!!! and only one time did the guy have the guts to stop and let me know what happened.

Why not get one that needs a little work, then you can have the satisfaction of bringing it back to mint just the way you want it!
