First off, I'm not wealthy at all.  Wife and me have good jobs, no debt, dad died, left me $79,000, my only son (has good job) and I decided to buy ZO6 Vette.  Dad would have killed me.  I'm 59, son 25, long after I'm gone, 30 years from now, good chance ZO6 w/matching numbers (hopefully for my son's sake), with less than 10,000 miles will be worth some good money, maybe only what was paid, maybe less, who knows.  In 1 1/2 North Dakota summers now, we have 340 miles on it.  Plan on 300 miles per year or less.  Problem:  the only thing we drive it for is one mile over to a non-patroled highway, do a couple 25mph to 100 mph runs, bring it home and garage it.   You gearheads out there, do you think this 427 small block motor can survive doing this 3 or 4 times a week during summers, for 30 years without destroying block.
