Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
1988 Base Camaro
Original 2.8 MPFI V6
Original T5 Manual Tranny
230,000 Miles.
Acquired it from my aunt and uncle(who bought it new) in early 2013, it had 196,000 at the time.
Its my daily driver, but it won't be all original for long. I plan on swapping in a 5.7 TPI and T56 in the spring/summer.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
I bought my 91 B4C T5 6 years ago and put on 14k. Currently at 26,3xx original miles.
I've been told it should be in a climate controlled garage sitting still so that perhaps someday on some absurd time horizon, I could auction it for double what I paid (which is probably a worse investment than simply putting money in the market and foregoing owning the car). Then, once sold for what will most likely be a net loss over that time horizon, somebody else gets to have it. That sounds like a bad deal.
Drive them and preserve them!

Red 1988 IROC Z Convertible, owned 11 years and a daily driver with 210K miles...even in our Colorado winters. Rebuilt the engine and trans eleven years ago and still no leaks. I am a maintenance horse with all my cars and happy to drive my IROC anywhere in the country.
Drove 1800+ miles round trip out to Iowa and back, getting ready to go on a 1400 mile round trip to AZ in early December

Puma,
Though my 88 IROC is red I do like that blue color. My daughter will be the recipient of my 88 IROC. Each of my three kids will recieve one of my classics... only thing my daughter wants it blue-I can't change the color on a numbers matching car that is a convertible! Maybe I will just find a blue thirdgen and restore it for her. Keep that car looking great!

About 350k-400k on my 91 firebird. Original 305 with rebuilt transmission. Drives the same way it did when it had 100k... Great
