Nice! I have 70k on my 91 Z28. It had 65k when I got it 2 years ago. It's hard not to drive the thing, but it's worth it!

150k on the '84 berly, but the motor is shot.

195k on the '90 Firebird, and still kickin' (knock on wood)
130k on the 5.7 that replaced the 3.1 in the '90. 3.1 was still strong when I pulled it.

That's got to be good for something.
