Car: 1989 IROC-Z
Engine: 383 stroker
Transmission: 700R4 3500 stall, TransGo shift kit
Axle/Gears: Moser 9", 4.11:1
Bought my 92 RS with 63,xxx miles, sold it a year later with 66,xxx miles.
Bought my 89 IROC with 83,xxx miles a little over a year ago, now I have 92,xxx on it. Once I repaint the nose, you would never guess it had that many miles. The interior is mint and theres no rust.

i've got 107 something...forget the exact number.
i keep trying to get more, but michigan weather doesn't help.
if you don't drive it why own it. i know i bought mine to drive it and enjoy it to the fullest. although i will admit i try to avoid heavy rain storms and absolute all snow; other than that you can't get me out of my car!
i had a neighbor who has a 1-le, raves all the time about the 7,000 low miles on his car. that's 7,000 where it's been exposed to things so it'si far from mint. just enjoy the car.

126,XXX when bought with a still running engine but the cam was totaly shot. 137,XXX on it now. 11,xxx on the engine and about 1,000 on the new transmission.
135K on my 88 T/A. I agree with Kandied, if you own it drive it. I love driving my T/A, so I do. Bought it with 131K. Only has her for 3.5 months. I think that these engines last a while. I won't ever own a car that I will only drive on certain days.

When I got the RS: 88,000
RS now, almost 3 years yater: 130,000
Gas mileage is getting better with age. These 305s are some long lasting engines! I've heard of 5-600,000 miles without any real problems.
When I got the GTA: 80,000
GTA now, almost 4 years later: 120,000
Needs spark plugs, wires, and a couple sensors and it will run like new.

If I counted the Toyota I have, I beat you all, it has 320,000 on it its an 83 tercel 4X4 with a 5 speed and extra low gear so its really a 6 speed. The car was owned by my grandmothers uncle he drove it till he was 82 that was about 2 years ago ( had a stroke had to quit work as a mechanic) So he gave the car to me to use or trade in or sell for the firebird ( yet to be bought, hopefully monday or tuesday * crosses fingers*)

I don't know why people store cars like that, I say if you have it, enjoy it. I drive mine as much as possible, except for snow and heavy rain (leaky t-tops).
