Well, the car itself has about 230,000 miles on it. It had 175,000 on the original car with the 'ol 2.8 when I bought it. Tranny and rear from my parts car have about 130,000 (never rebuilt and shifts perrrrrfect), and the new engine has about 3,000 on it. I think that covers it.
I just tell people its brand new to the keep confusion down. Funny how they don't usually believe me?

My little toy has approx. 140K miles on it (it's also an '84). Both age and miles are paying a toll on it.
Hopefully within the next few years I will have the facillities to do a full body and engine restoration....

I saw one advertised the other day on autotrader that had 200K+ miles on it.
I also called on a '92 25 Aniv. car and he had like 223 or 225K on the car. I was really amazed that the was able to be driven that long on what I believed was the original motor and tranny. I could be mistaken on that last part but maybe not.

Virtually all stock un-molested '88 IROC with around 150K miles on it. Looks like it only has 20K miles on it and runs like it has 50K miles on it.

Driving a car that runs great, looks new, different from every other car out there, and not making car payments.... priceless!!
