I have had a few Muscle/Classic cars that I used as daily drivers in the past and I was wondering how many cd posters do this currently, or in the past?

My last daily driver (3 years ago) was a Muscle car: 73 Challenger with a 360 and an Auto in it. Nothing fast, but it sure got a lot of thumbs ups. I put a couple hundred miles a month on it. No real long distance trips but a lot of back and forth to work trips along with week end cars shows.

A '73 Challenger? Good choice in cars!

I own 3 classic cars and they are not driven too much.

1966 Plymouth Fury VIP (383-4 bbl): Driven about once every 2-3 weeks.

1969 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham: Driven about once every 1-2 weeks.

1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five Limousine: Driven about once every 2 weeks.

I saw a maintenance receipt from the '69 Cadillac from 2008 and realized that car was only driven 254 miles in 4 years!

My '71 Mini is driven about 3/4 times a week and does around 200-250miles a month I suppose. It will be less over the winter though.

I drove my 1969 Ford Mustang convertible to work quite a bit this summer. It needs some TLC and I've been riding the motorcycle more often (better fuel economy) so it's been pulled off the road for the winter. Looking forward to spring...

My last classic car was a El Camino SS 454 4 speed. I drove it rarely so I will say maybe 700 miles per month before I gave it to young cousin who graduated school and went to a university.

I drive my 66 Tbird some where just about everyday.
I didn't get it to see how pretty it looks sitting in the driveway.

Is a Corvette a muscle car?
If so, then it's my daily driver.
12000 miles in 18 months.
But I don't go very many places (just work and the store) and I use my truck in bad weather or when I have the kid.

Yup. All I own are 79 and older cars. Well, except for the 88 Taurus. Five days a week I drive a 79 Thunderbird to work. My emergency car in Ft. Worth is a 76 Maverick. After the first of the year, I'll switch to my 74 Montego and 74 Impala. Then next summer I'll switch to my 71 4dr Maverick and a 76 Grand Marquis, etc., etc. You get the point.
