300 miles.



He mentioned it was going to auction next month, so I looked it up. More photos in the auction listing.

Re: This one joined us at a local cruise night...

wow, 1st time I've seen a super low milage car with SLP runners on it. edit, never mind, took a closer look at the link, just a trick of the photo on the posted photo. it has 5K miles on it thought it would be strange for someone to spend money on SLP equipment and not drive it.

I was not interested in buying the car, so I did NOT go over it very closely. But it does present very well. The only flaw I noticed was the point of the passenger mirror has been rubbed against something, removing the paint.

Are the black valve covers original? I thought tpi cars always had the silver valve covers.

Fifty-three hundred miles on a '92 Z-28!

That's like marrying her.



And not putting any miles on her! Saving her for "The next guy".

Re: This one joined us at a local cruise night...

That's what the guy said. He's been after it for years, finally got, and now he can't/won't drive it. He knows if he keeps it he'll drive the hell out of it, so he decided to pass it on to someone who wants a super low mile car. Lesson learned.
