Let's see how good some of you are with the mileage that's on your odometer. Of all the TGs you have owned, how many miles were on it when you got it, how long have you had it, and what's ur current odo reading?

I'll start:

84 TA 5sp - 139k.. drove for 8 months.. sold with 152k
86 Firebird - no idea..drove for 1year.. totaled with unknown mileage.
86 TA - 111k Jul 13, 1998.... Still have it to this date with 154k on the body
86 Z28 - 188k.. had for 3 yrs.. sold with 196k
91 RS - 94k.. owned for 8 months.. still has 94k... No motor yet

 

89 Chevy Camaro 17,xxx on odometer but was at least 117,000. Could have been 217,000 didnt get to meet the owner. Bought it from a donation company. I turned it over twice now, so I either have 317,000 or 417,000 on it. of course I have rebuilt the transmission, engine, rearend, suspension, etc. the engine has 65,000 on it. Transmission has a years worth of driving probably around 10k on it. Daily driver!

oh and I repainted it back in Dec 01. needs another paint job as y'all can see. Not bad for a garage paint job though

 

Wow.. call that thing "the warrior". I turned my odo back cuz i didn't wanna c it passed 100k..

 

Good one!

1988 Firebird
1997 bought it with ~92K
Sold it in 2003 with ~140K
Bought it back 2007 with ~190K

1989 GTA T/A
2003 bought it with 45,167
8+ years later it has a little over 65K

 

My '87 sat at 17246.7 for like 3 years since the T56 went in, prob 217k

'92 has 183k+

'98 has 205k

Moral of the story, who gives a **** about miles drive your hot rod

 

Well around here we call it the red dragon, im working on taking off the restrictor plates, but keep it on the dl caus its not exactly street legal!-Will Ferrel in Old School

 

Well put my friend.

 

i know im awesome.

 

Well I have an 89 RS with 3700 miles on it, the 3rd time around.. so its more like 203,698 miles. I have no idea if the trans/engine or anything else was replaced during the time before I owned it. When I become rich, I want to replace all the suspension, engine, trans, tires, new paint job.. yeahhhhh

I am pretty sure I bought the car with 189,000 on it 3 years ago. Most of the miles I put on my car was driving from NJ to NY like 6 times, 800 miles round trip.

 

bought my iroc in 2003? with 142k miles on it and today it had 158k miles but ive reset the odometer to match my new engine with the new gauge cluster so now it reads 800 something miles.

is it sad that in 8 years ive driven my thirdgen less then 20k miles?

 

Not really. Wasn't it a paperweight for like 4 of those years?

 

yup traviz your lame. and now that it gets 5 mpg your going to drive it even less. BS!

 

Bought a new '88 Cmaro RS w/ 2.8L & T5 (0 miles) in May 1988. Traded it in June 2001 w/ 295K on original engine and trans. Kicked myself in the butt until July 2011 when I bought an used '87 Camaro RS w/ 2.8L & T5 (odo= 35K miles ). Same color, everything. Couldn't pas up the opportunity.

Dirtiest car I've ever worked on. Previous guy never did his own work. But, all in all, it's a keeper. Thing could have 535K miles for all I know. Lots of wear and tear on the usual items, which I am systematically working to replace. Body is sound, so it's has a great base to start.

 

Bought my 85 4bbl back in May and had "96000" on the odo but it has a cluster from a v6 bird in it so who truly knows what the actual mileage was. But since picking it up its rolled over to what i believe would be 1056xx if it were infact 96k. So almost 10k miles in ~6 months (i average about 100 miles or so a day due to work).

 

Ahhh...how is the gas mileage f bomb?

 

Traded my curant 90 IROC-Z 5.0 M5 bright red for a 04 seadoo. The car has a documented 88,629 miles on her. Car is super clean.

91-Z28 convert 305 115K 145K when sold
89-Iroc L98 102K and 115k when sold
90-Iroc L98 102K and 155K when sold

 

88 Formula 350 aka Felicia- Bought in 2001 with 62,XXX... Currently has 89,XXX I believe. Engine #3, Tranny #3 needs to be installed, Rearend #3 needs to be installed. Mileage doesn't mean ****.

 

rebuilt engine? rebuilt tranny? rebuild rear end? or used stuff?

 

The 2nd engine was rebuilt, rearend was rebuilt, and the 2nd tranny was used... Going with a T56 this time. Tired of dealing with slipping slushomatic's.

 

i love my automatic especially with the vigilante. she is responsive. especially with the b&m shifter. not saying the shiter makes the tranny shift better because it doesnt. but the control and not having to worry about misshifting is great.

 

I hate my auto... Edge 2900 RPM stall, with a tranny cooler. Last tranny had a shift kit and meh. Still an automatic.
