How many miles per year...$75k - $100k Car?

[EZ Nova]

Sorry, but 99% of the replies are NOT what the OP asked! WHO DRIVES THERE 100K car (blue chip investment style cars) and how many miles per year. AND he's Canadian, so up here we would be driving 130K cars? LOL Sorry I think ZEDDER ment cars worth more the your typical '69 Z28's L-78 Chevelle Camaro Nova, Mach 1 Mustangs, 340 Mopar etc.

So something like LS-6 rag's, Hemi 'Cuda, Boss 429's, REAL Yenko SC cars ect. At this time in my life, my "expensive" car is my '66 Nova SS racecar. The $$$ I have in it, could have bought me a nice COPO '69 Camaro. My '69 Nova streetcar would be like he sees around, a 40K+ driving car. BUT this is also the reason I bought and built my '61 Pontiac as a driver as it's valued by Haggerty for 28K CANADIAN.

Being 52 next month, and expecting our first child (boy) the following month, I will get out of the race stuff in the not too distant future. Then the plan is to buy a keep a Blue Chip car, a playful fast OEM looking driver "Saturday Night Special" 8 second car, like my '69 Nova, and a driver style 50K car the whole family can enjoy and take on weekend trips and almost a regular daily driver.

So unless I get something like a LS-6 with 2500 miles on it, or some other extremely low mileage car, no matter what it is, I will drive it about a 1000 miles a year.

I appoligies if I came off pissy or anything. Just didn't think the thread went the way ZEDDER intended it too with the replies.

Perhaps you interpreted it differently, but his initial question was this:
Just curious...those who have muscle cars in the $75k - $100k value range...how many miles do you drive them per year?

I think the responses were spot on. Oh congrats on the upcoming birth of your son. Hopefully he will have the same musclecar interest as you....

Oops! Sorry for my post. I didn't realize that I wasn't in the exclusive group. I know better now.

"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
