I would like to start a tread like Imissmy86TA did with "Low Mile Third Gen post yours".I would like to see some WELL taken care of, Restored or Unmolested high mile third gens,say 50,000 miles or more,whatever the low mile thread didn't qualify for.What do you think.I'll start with mine.This one has 125,000 miles.

 

My 1991 Trans Am GTA with 85,000 miles.

 

Looking Good Carlos

 

Thank you, sir. Yours looks fantabulous as well! I see you got the dot matrix put on... I think it looks better with it in my opinion.

 

Heres mine! Its had some touch ups here and there, but she's still looking good for 123,000 miles! It's pretty original other than the wheels, which I never got the stock ones with it..

 

 

Carlos that GTA is lookin right. I got a 91 as well, Its white w/ black leather 5 spd.
Thats the nicest car Ive seen on here in a while.

 

Hey Manta, I got 2 that qualify.

GTA - 62K miles, Iroc, 173K (work in progress)

 

Don't recall you ever saying you had a IrocZ,that's really nice looking.

 

No more high mile beauties out there

 

114,00 but sure not a beauty lol so im not gona bother posting a pic, what no one over 200k plus? now thats high milage lol

 

Under 150k is not high miles for the age, really under 200. Mine has 117 and was parked for 12 years of its life. Wife has a '13 charger with 65k on it now. Guess it's a matter of opinion.

 

Yea that's the one I did the injector job on that last Sunday we met, just got it running good. Looks good from 20'- LOL.
Needs some exhaust work and then body/paint...

 

Thank you, sir.

 

Mine sits at 87000.

 

Mine has 207,000 on it, with the original 305 that's never been out of the car or taken apart. Gets 29 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg in town. Has the T-5 and 3.23 rear gears. It's currently at the body shop getting fully re-worked and painted.













EDIT: Got these pics from the body shop today! Super excited! I absolutely LOVE the color!

 

I am honored of your mention of my thread! I think this is a great idea and although I don't have a high mileage car, I know of a few on here (well one at least) and should be represented!

Here is one with 170K! I nominated him for COTM a few months back and he didnt get it in the running which is unfortunate!





Again great cars guys! High mileage can still be great show winners!

 

Devin,looks good

 

Hey Thanks and Your Welcome My86,I thought they needed some reconition for their hard work in keeping these old beauties around.

 

Looks Great 71

 

Original Owner, 217k are all mine! Pics taken this July

 

Looks super clean Teds. Now that's what I call high mileage. And in Wisconsin, looks to be no rust. Very nice.

 

TED is that only summer driving? or some salt?

 

Much agree! lots of work to keep them so nice!
My wife complains about the time I spend on mine before car shows. I cant imagine what you guys have to do

 

I'm up to 234,xxx on my 92 GTA I think. Bought her July 1st 2000 with 69,xxx on her

 

Stored every winter (Thanksgiving - Easter approx.). Finally repainted this year - clear coat was going.

Bought it new in '89, drove out to Santa Barbara, and drove up and down PCH. I promptly drove my new car into a tree

 

That's greatand still going strong,

 

Glad to see you put some life back into it

 

Very Nice TedYour car still looks NEW.That's one big @$$ tree.

 

Here's a photo of mine from a few years ago when I first bought it, it had 132k on it then:



What hood is that? I like that it's only a small rise, it's pretty subtle compared to some of the ones that are out there.

 

It's a 2" cowl induction hood that's functional & all-steel. Bolted right on. I haven't seen very many like it. Most have a ridge/seam down the center instead of being smooth, and look different in profile. I'm very happy with it.

 

That's one hellava storage garage

 

Ive nearly got the first 3 cars mileage combined

At 312k currently. Original engine was swapped at 296k, so I guess thats where the rule ends


Ive also got a 342k V6/T5 thats had the trans replaced, but it definitely looks its age. 97 Silverado with 384k all original, but its not a Fbody

 

WOW,still looks good,a little TLC goes a long way

 

Off the road getting a paint job right now, but my hubby's daily driver is an 89 RS with a 5 speed with 227,000 on it.

 

My '90 GTA is just over 100,000 miles.. I've hardly driven it in the last 3 years. It just takes up room in my garage

 

That's a beautiful looking car Jim

 

Love to see some pics when it's done.

 

Just under 180k

 

Good looking FireBird Ryan

 

Any clue on the brand? Looking around all I can find is the ones with the ridge. Idk why they even put that ridge on them, it's not like the nose has a matching ridge.

 

Here's my 91 Firebird with 116,000 miles.

 

Will do.

 

Not sure of the actual brand name, but I got it from Classic Industries. The one they have listed online has the ridge in it, but the one they shipped to me does not (obviously ). I was glad to see the one I received was the smoother design. They have a 3" fiberglass one that looks like mine, but I wanted the smaller 2" height and all-steel construction.

 

UPDATE......

207,000 Mile RS

Got these pics from the body shop today.....











Can't wait to bring it home on Friday!!!

 

O Man,that looks great.

 

Dang Blue, That is sharp! Now go was your wheels and tires and she'll be ready for a cruise!

Congrats! Hope to see it in person.

 

I hadn't even thought of checking classic, & checking there made me think to check Rick's Camaros, The one I found on Rick's is the smoother design in the picture, but since it's $100 more than the classic one I might just call classic & see if I can get them to confirm whether theirs has the ridge on it or not.

:drool:

 

Gentlemen,

We really enjoyed reviewing the images of all of these awesome high mileage third gens. It's great to see all of these third gen cars that are driven daily and read through the comments.

We also wanted to thank you for the interest in the cowl hoods that we offer like the hood that Blue 90 RS used on his car. I want to be careful not to hijack this thread, but want you all to know that because of your comments here, we have created a new part number, 152810 for the 2" inch cowl induction hood with the less pronounced center ridge. You may order this part number to be sure that you receive the hood with the smoother looking scoop. We will also continue to offer Part number 1668292, which is the 2" cowl hood with the more pronounced ridge. Please PM us or you may want to consider starting another thread about cowl hoods (or post your comments at this link) if you have any further comments or questions about these hoods.
