Piston Power Show

Lots of VWs in the basement including some LeakOilers.

This was my favorite- a '63 Chevy with 11 original miles on it. I wonder what it would get at auction- 150K? 200K?

I'll assume it was an 11 mile car when it was first titled in 2013, but it probably has a few more miles on it now. Either way, that's quite a vehicle.

I guess there's always a debate about low mileage cars that aren't driven and those that have miles (driven sparingly) but driven nonetheless. I'd suspect a car that sat for 50 years with 11 original miles presented a lot of issues when they finally tried to get it running. I bought a backup Gen 1 Tacoma a couple years ago with 69,000 original miles. Nice little truck. I let it sit for nearly a year because I wasn't using it and learned a lesson. Drive it every once in while to avoid bigger issues. Especially if it's parked in an environment that isn't controlled. I ended up having to have all the fluids drained and have the brakes redone. Now I take it for a spin once a month and it seems to respond much better. And it still only has 70.000 miles.

Here is an article about the dealership auction that car came from.
