I'm bored and got to thinking......is there even one muscle car mopar (60's-70's) that is 100% original and very very low mileage? Kind of like a time capsule. Maybe the most reference vehicle out there?

Did someone back in the day, buy one and never ever drive it or pass away and it just sat? Not a vehicle that had thousands of miles on it, but one that had almost no miles on it?

Barry Washington sells a CD full of pictures of the lowest mile T/A Challenger known. I'm not sure of the mileage,but I think it's very,very low.

Superstocker (name on moparts) has an A12 with 1956 miles I believe and a 4spd to boot. Its gotta be for a muscle car one of the lowest around.

I think there is Daytona with a few hundred miles that was on a dealership floor in Conneticut? at one time..? don't know if thats verifable but others would know

174 miles I believe. Don Garlit has a Gator Grain car that I think is a minimal mile car but don't remember exactly.

A number of years ago there was an artical on a 168 mile Satelite (318 car though) that sat on the back of a dealers lot for 30+ years. It was cut apart for to save a better car. Nut it was documented well.

A tree fell on it when new: sizeable damage to the door jamb area- sat in the back of the dealer for years. Used to restore a Hemi car

Featured in MCG with 7 miles on it.Purchased new with every intention of preserving it--not driving it.

My old HS, Western HS in Anaheim, had a less then 100 mile powder blue slant six 3 speed Duster, Rubber floor mats and all. IIRC it as a 74-75 Damaged in a rail car accident and donated by Chysler. ran and was driven on and off the lifts, had about a billion brake jobs (taken apart and put back together) Car was rumored to have been cut up and destroyed after budget cuts killed the Auto shop classes in the mid 80's, a real shame! Car was an easy fix, damaged hatch area.
