I have a '79 corvette with <90k miles. I love it, but I don’t drive it. I would like to sell it, ideally to someone else who will both love and drive it. I don’t want to use Facebook and I live in a rural area. Is there another good option?

Edited my comment. I didn’t mean to say, “the average car from '79 would have x miles on it” (if a car that old managed to survive this long while being daily driven it would have well over 500k), so much as I was highlighting how impressive it was the car was still at such low mileage despite (presumably) still running and being driven occasionally.
I suppose “low mileage” is subjective. It’s got less than 1/5 the miles it “should” based on age, but it also probably has less than 1/5 of it’s remaining mileage left before something goes bang (unless work has already been done on it).
Yeah, it’s a bit of a survivor ship bias, most of the cars from the 70s that are still surviving have even lower mileage on them. A lot of classic cars that are still around were ones that people put in barns after driving them 20k-30k miles. Most of the ones that were actually driven around and used died a long time ago.
A lot of those low milage classics are basically just show cars, where the owners cart them around in trailers so they can keep the milage low.
