Anthony,

I also know of a 1969 SS 396 Chevelle L-78 car that has never been lic for the street or a street car for that matter. Race car since day one. It has been streeted with dealer plates from time to time about 15 yrs ago.

But as with this, the speedo was disconnected right at day 1. So who's to say WHAT the original mileage is? Low for sure, but 99% of the guys I know that raced back in the day didn't hook the speedo's back up IF they were racing.

Reasoning is even at 1/4 tracks, car put about 1-1.5 miles per pass on? track plus shut down and return roads, to the pits then to staging lanes. So a couple "test n tune" passes, then qualifying and onto eliminations could easily be 10+ mile per weekend alone. I know from a Friday night to Sunday eliminations I have put on over 15 miles on a normal good result weekends.
