I'm not surprised, anymore, at the EXTREME low mileage we see on some, if not MANY, Cobras (CSX, ERA, Kirkham, whatever). I can't quite wrap my head around it either, but it's fairly common. Consider MY ERA. According to the mileage on the TITLE when I bought it and transferred that title to my name, the previous owner had driven the car LESS THAN 500 MILE. He owned it 3 or 4 years! I asked him about that and got a couple of impessions but no distinct answer. ONE: It was a beast to drive! Scary fast, tempermental, a real brute. Even I had difficulty getting a handle on the quirky hell raising motor. TWO: It was a terrific piece of "art" to have in the garage and show off. For some, that's enough.
For $60K, I'd take a fiberglass CSX, let alone an aluminum one.

As for driving my car, it's just about "time allocation", if you know what I mean.
