What does everyone have for Mileage? What do car owners do about milage when they restore a car? Does this matter when showing a car?
What do you all have on the clock? I am at 42k and she sits under a cover now....

My 2000 has 17,500 on it now. Bought it in July with 12,517. I don't think the mileage is that big of a deal when a car is restored, If it's original then it increases value if it's lower. I don't belive in kepping the miles down. If you enjoy the car, drive it. You can always restore it to perfect, or the way you think it should be perfect.

2000 SS with 46K miles on the clock and ticking. I just don't drive my car in the rain much, if at all. Drive your car and enjoy it. It's no wonder I don't see many F-bodies on the road. Once something goes out, it's a great reason to replace it with something better.
