I can't get to 2000 miles/year, but my 66 shelby is sitting with 98K on it.
However, I have a friend in Pueblo who owns a 1965 GT350 with
36K original miles (2nd owner with verifiable mileage). As far as the
all time low goes, I remember reading an article on a '71 El Camino (I think)
in an issue of Car Exchange about 2 years ago that had 13 (yup! thirteen)
miles on it. The original owner apparently drove the car from the dealership 
to his home and stored it there, starting it up every few months to keep 
the juices flowing.

For the uninitiated, looking for a 20 year old car with 75K or less is
not unreasonable. There are plenty out there. Pick up a copy of Hemmings or
Old Cars and you will see several such automobiles being offered for sale
in each issue. It takes some legwork and a lot of looking, but for someone
who is willing to take the time and make the effort to look, it is
actually relatively easy to find these cars.

Oh yeah, one more example. A friend of mine owns a 71 corvette with 21K miles
on it. He bought it new and drove it for 1 year, put 16K on it, then covered
it up and now drives it only occasionally. (yuk yuk, har har, ahem ahem!)
