1978 Z28

I'm looking at this ad right now for a 1978 Chevy Camaro Z28. It has 60 mi., 350 eng. with some modifications. $8,000 OBO. If I bought this car, would it be wise to actually use it, or would it better to use it as a 'special occasion' car?

Not sure, that's all the information given. I'm debating right now if I should go for it, or pass.

Drive it if it is not very original. If it has original paint and in good overall shape, I'd use sparingly. I have an all original 1981 Z/28 with 30,000 miles and I barely drive it. To each their own I guess. 8K is a good price if it's very original.
