Re: Your lowest-mileage classic or used car?
ok,I dont have any pictures yet but my great uncle just passed away...he left a car in his will for my mother, she passed away but knew he had the car in his will and passed it on to me...probate court wasnt too hard seeing how I am the only family member left alive, the car a 1968 Plymouth Sport Fury III convertible, he bought the car new, bought 2 of them 1 for his wife, a week after he bought it she drove of the side of a mountain in hers (red) he parked his in the barn covered it and never drove it again, my uncles and cousins would go out and look at it and try to get him to let them drive it...which wasnt happening but he would let them start it, when I went to get it I had all expectations of trailering it and towing it home and wasnt looking forward to pushing it out of the barn and up a hill...but when I got there the key was hanging in the ignition...I turned it and almost fell to the floor when it fired up...I aired up the tires which are cracked bad and will be replaced but the car has exactly 1153.8 miles on it..yes thats one thousand one hundred fifty-three point eight miles,,the paint? perfect no fade and after washing shines like the day it rolled out the showroom...everything works...top is not cracked or faded...the oil isnt even dirty...altho all fluids will be changed...perhaps I'll put this sweet ride on e-bay...it has the 383 with automatic slapstick shfter...wonder if I could find a couple old 8-tracks to see if that works...the radio does. I'll take $30,000 any takers?
