As if that hasn't been my goal all my life. Admit it you can't achieve 100% I'm fine with that.

How?
I do know a story about St. Louis assembly plant pausing for a model change over in 1996 and finding an '87 minivan with 0 miles, but... how?
In this case, the purchaser became ill almost immediately after buying the car and eventually passed away. The wife and family left it in the garage for years. The folks that cleaned out the eventual estate got the car.
A few years before this one, I saw a 76 NYB that was never titled. I was handed the original Manufacturer's Statement of Origin, dated in 1976. It had about 400 miles. Unfortunately, that one was stored outside for some period of time, so it appeared to be gorgeous, until you looked further.
Those are the only 2 really low mileage c-bodies I can recall, but I do see at least one low mileage original car of some type, every year, somewhere in my travels.

Oh.
I guess that happens every so often. I was hoping a rental company lost it in an airport parking garage or something.

hood scoops are no good in the desert. sand wipes out the top piston rings in a hurry.
I don't really see how you missed out, I still like yours better. Low miles is meaningless to me, other than as a curiosity. The steering wheel is the best feature of this car IMO...

Coming from you, that is high praise indeed. Thank you.
I see a thousand imperfections in my car. Annoys the **** out of me.
But they all go away when I go for a ride in the thing. 1976.
