Wow, kilometers? My 2.8 has 217,000 miles, and 1 mile = 1.609 km. So that turns out to be 349,153 km! Cool. Time for a rebuild, eh?

Hey Pete, where are you from in NB? I am from Saint John and there are a bunch of us that have F-bodies down here. If you raced at mirimichi you probably have seen Kustomiroc's ride. It is the one painted up with the Dupont Decals.

Oh yeah my 91 has 198,000km and my 84 made it to 350,000km and the guy took the motor and tranny out and is using it in a firebird he is building HAHAH.

The thing I am driving today, a 78 El Camino 305, has 549,000 km on it... 341,000 miles. My 74 Caprice convertible 454 has 260,000 miles. My wife's 91 Cadillac has 192,000 miles.

You guys all have a bunch of inexperienced cars if you ask me.
