But back then there was much less traffic than today. Just curious.

In our case dad got sick and couldn't drive it.
It was intended to be a race car from day one so it racked up miles from 1965 to 1967 a quarter mile at a time. It's never seen snow and very few times in the rain. In 1974 he was diagnosed with debilitating rheumatoid arthritis. He couldn't push the clutch in so the car was parked, neglected, and sat in an unheated garage for about twenty years.
It had 4656.2 miles on it the whole time I was growing up, so I've put about 300 miles on it since his passing.
