Welcome to the forum. Now I have to ask a question about your car. Why?? What do you do with a car to only put 20 miles on it in 30 years? I sorta rank that up there with the guys on B-J who pay those astronomical sums for a car that they could never risk driving.
I know everybody had their priorities, and it is your car, but Man, what a waste of machinery. Cars were made to drive, either 1/4 mile at a time, or further distances. You say it is a toy only.........why not PLAY with it????????????????????
How about posting some pictures it?
JMO,

Welcome to CHR., sounds like a nice car. I understand the low miles perfectly!!!! Makes complete sense to me..... Guess I'm at the point where the building is more important then the driving.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

57 chev
I use to drag race in my early days. I built a shop especially for this car, and over the yrs I have had a 283, 350,a 383 stroker, and now the big block. I built the first three, and eventually sold the motors or gave them to my brother who would use them in his farm truck. I work for Saturn auto retail, and put in a lot of hours. I just love to crank up and listen to the old chev viberate the walls, since i live partially in the country, i sneak it out sometimes to blow out the soot then park it before the law has a chance to get me without a tag. when I retire in a few yrs, I plan to drive the car to shows etc and have a little fun. rdobbs

Welcome to here,
It is your car to do with what you please, but sure sounds like a waste of what sounds like a nice car, for a Chevy.
Post some pictures. We like pictures. We really like pictures.
