Sorry...but I read and interpreted the OP like most everyone else, and that meant any muscle car valued between 75K to 150K. There's a very wide spectrum of cars that fit into that category and it's not simply Supercars, Hemi's, Boss cars and LS6's that fit that billing.

As an aside, there are many real Camaro's, Chevelle's, Mustang's Challenger's, Dart's and Duster's with values well above the 75K range, and a good amount of them above 100K for that matter. :)

"Drive my 69 Z on nice days and in the country. Nice car and nice view. Car had 77K on it when I bought in 1982. Has finally rolled over and is at about 101K. It has a 35 year paint job on it, and plenty of age and defects. But still a thrill to look at and drive."

You certainly are in an exclusive group! Owning a car for 35 years and still enjoying it...wow. Please take no offense, as none was intended as EZ Nova explained in a following post. Just keep on

As the OP, my post wasn’t meant to exclude anyone or belittle cars below $75k. I posted the $75k-$100k range because I like 67 Z’s and L78’s and they tend to fall within that category except for the absolute trailer queens. No other reason!

Wondering what you guys think about actually driving & putting miles on a very nice original un restored low mileage ( low 30's) 70 Z/28 and its effect on value if there even is any ? the car had 32,000 or so when I got it about 6 years ago, and its about ready to turn 34,000 this summer. A lot of the local guys give me crap for driving it at all, and act like I should just worship it in the garage. I highly dought it will ever get more than a few thousand more in my lifetime ?

I thought this question sounded familiar. ;)

Driving my survivors is a thrill, i don't care about the miles. I'm very cautious because they are only original once. I posted a couple of years ago my focus is on drivers and survivors. With a driver I have no worries and can drive anywhere and anytime. However for me driving a survivor is a real treat and a thrill. Enjoy the car as you see fit, and don't mis out on driving and enjoying your car.

Personally, I don’t think a few hundred miles a year will hurt the car’s value...assuming it doesn’t get damaged while you have it out.

I average 6,000 to 8,000 miles per year on my Beaters
