I always wonder how its possible...that car logged 12.5 miles per year?
[/ QUOTE ] I bet it didn't...I don't doubt it sat dormant and undisturbed without any driving at all for many years. There are plenty of super low mile cars out there that sit in garages all sealed up with no plans of moving. How many 78-82-93 Indy Pace Cars are tucked away, Cosworth Vegas, 454SS pickups...seems there's one in every other town. I wouldn't be surprised if the car has had some minor restoration and preventative maintence (i.e. paintin' & shinin'
) to make it look as strong as it does today, but to totally discredit the mileage of this car w/o seeing it in person is a bit hasty IMO. It's only having 200 odd miles as late as '76 shows it was living a sheltered life in it's early years. By 1976 everyone was well aware that there wasn't much in the line of perfomance cars being offered anymore...plus considering what a '76 Malibu looks like, I'd have probably sat on this super low mile '72 if I could too. Don't hate...appreciate.
