hey check this out

hmm seams that my car has been patched up, changing tail light bulbs, i noticed that along the wheel wells that the back half of my car is not original.

now it just like the outer skin is not original, ive been all under it. and on the out side you cant tell anyhwere at all so they did a good job, but on top of them wheel well i can see the bondo in the seams.

96000 miles just got the car a couple of months ago from a friend. its only been fed synthetic oils... great shape

 

My 91 only has about 39,000 miles on it.and it was well taken care of. and i just put iroc wheels from an 87 iroc-z on it look real cool.

 

You guys suck *** . I got my car from my grandmother hmm id say in 97 it had 350,000 on it (been in every state but alaska and hawaii) Now I have cranked her up to 472,4** as of today. The engine is original and the trans got rebuilt in 00. So come on any other takers :-P No knock ping no running smoke just the little at the beginning.

88 camaro rs , 2.8 Bought the car in 95 with 83,000 miles on it .Was 16 years old , 23 years old now .I must really enjoy the car sence Im 23 and still driving it .Parents have even tried to get me a new one a few years ago .Nope I like my 88

170,000 miles on old motor
driving on rebuilt motor 180,000 miles

still has original 700r4 and fuelpump with 180,000 miles

Waterpump dided at 175,000 miles (AND THINK IT WAS ORIGINAL PUMP)

 

Filled up today. 10.035 gallons. Miles traveled 278.8. so roughly 28 MPG and this after just running a tank of really cheap gas that I got maybe 20 MPG on.

 

"LIKE A ROCK " ....you could be in a chevy commercial . Did your grandma drive this car some before you did ? hmmm .No offence but maybe thats why it runs good Maybe I should try to buy my next thridgen from a little ole' grey headed lady

 

51,000 summer miles, original trans.

 

I did not know forth gen rims could fit on a 3rd gen they look great. Did you have to do anything to make them fit.????

 

My car, on it's original Engine and Tranny is at 189,902 Kilometers

No problems except for my carb! So I think my car is doin good!

 

Jaren I had to purchase spacers to get them to fit. And yes I said my grandmother is where i got the car from got it when I had my lerners permit, but she was never nice to the car she could scare the **** outa u. No need for a v8 with her **** I got airborn at least 5 times during the trips i went to see her either summer or christmas. Shed see railroad tracks and just punch it. HAHAH oh and she had this thing with puddles (she'd love to see the water spray up over the car) So she'd have to hit all the damn puddles she could see. I think what made the sucked last and still run as of today is the highway driving. It still runs strong i'd say for the miledge thats on it. During oil changes's at the 2000 mile mark I notice the power go away and it just turns into an every day station wagon or something. But when I first change it its great. I have no low end as of my cat being gutted. But I Have great top end. Although my grandmother now drives a pontiac transport and drives it like 50 miles and hour (guess it cought up with her) HAHA ;-)

my 88 2.8 has 171,000 km so thats about 100K miles, right ? , got the engine rebuilt (by myself) about 1,000 km so thats about 2 month ago , the tranny is original and going good. )except an annoying sound when i put it in reverse)(manual tran.) got it when i was 16 now 17, and it gets about 14 mpg
i have to get some1 to look at it because i tried everything and donno ehy the milage so bad.

AK

 

we should have a 200K club.

few hundred over 200k the original t5 went out,first drive with the new t5, 1-2-3-4 squeals with two people in the car.

i find i get the best arond town miles with sunoco ultra 94, not sure the actual milage, but it last longer than any other brand of hi grade gas.

so many times i come close to running out, cause it last so long i forget it needs gas and i just go driving.

now my wagon, is 5 bucks a day, i cant even pass a gas station.

Got about 140G. Would have to go out and look to get exact fig. Got 30mpg avg. 75mph on a 200 mi rnd trip once. But now I'm in Germany at 5000ft. with hills everywhere and doing 85-120mph on autobahn so I think I burn a little more gas now. Little more math involved with litres.

2.8 auto
no mods(but hoping to do something about that now that I found this site)

 

just rolled over 125,000 miles on original engine and tranny, 25 MPG, driven apprx 300 miles a week.

 

About 105k miles, original engine. Don't know when the original tranny went, I bought the car with its second, or so I was told. If I was BS'd, the original tranny went at about 100k.

 

I bought my 85 firebird a month ago with 107,000 orginal on it, 2 weeks after I bought the tranny went south. I could tell when I bought it that the previous owner(s?) didn't keep it up, but I thought that some repairs and some fluid changes, and she would be a good car. Guess I was wrong. Back to driving the 87 Buick Century with the 2.5L with 190,000 miles original and still running strong. Have a freind who's uncle will probably help me swap a 350 into the bird this summer though

 

Hey Winnipeg Firebird Dude, what year and color is your car. I live in Winnipeg too and have a "dusty rose/briar brown" 83 S/E with 268,000 on the original motor and trans. Just died last week though.

 

Bought my 85 2.8 camaro at a hair over 65K. Now has close to 135K on it!!!

 

My '88 has 148,000+ miles. The tranny just went out, it's getting replaced right after christmas. The motor runs great though!

have 185,600 km (about 115k miles) on original engine and tranny...engine still running tight but tranny going bad fast.

 

mileage on what? Our cars, or this message? Everytime this message looks dead, someone revives it!

 

Wow, this is an old post! haha

84 Trans Am here with 109000 miles on it...almost all summer. Until this year it has been garaged every September through May. 60000 on the motor and 8000 on the rebuilt 700R4. The motor wound up with a rear main seal leak while on a long road trip (Minnesota to Texas) and I didn't catch it until I was almost home from the trip...blew all the main's and scored the crank really good when I tried to pass a Corvette!

 

I've got 98,000 on my 88 camaro original motor and tranny all stock for now minus the exhaust.

 

My car I just bought last week has 139,822.6 miles on the original engine (not a problem!) and a presumed original T-5. That's OK mileage for a 20 year old car, eh? My last car was a 2000 Dodge, and it had more miles than this one!

 

210k, 3rd motor(3.4 swap) after the first owner bottomed out the second one and sold it to me. origional tranny but shifts really slow, i think it needs to be rebuilt

 

i wondered why i didnt recognize most people on here, lol. this post is from before me, lol. ive got 157k on it now. original trans, dropped in a 3.4 at about 140k just because. 3.4 has about 74k on it, but had the top end off twice since i got it. lotsa mods and so far, worth every penny. i was offered $6000 right after i got it on the road at a gas station and turned it down. bacuse i have more than that into it, lol and why would i get rid of it???? i let my mom take it to the dealership she works at, she said she about had to wipe the drool spots off it, lol.

 

around 70,000 miles on my baby, not sure of that particular miles because of an "odometer discrepancy" (old dash fried, got a junkyard pull). Gets up to 30 MPG, and looks damn good doing it

 

My daughter's 90 bird (3.1) has 223,000 and still going strong. Gets about 28 hwy and 23 around town.

 

117,xxx and then I blew the engine...

 

83 2.8(carbed) i have 86,XXX miles, wasn't taken care of by previous owners, now its leaking oil(possably valve covers), and has a very bad exaust rattle, other then that, the car is good shape (not gonna mention the damn paint!), i get about 180miles to a tank, at 19mpg

 

you should tell antivtec he is full of bs because he could beat half of those cars with a 2.8 unless they were racing him in revese lol

 

I'm running a 5.0 H.O. in mine, I can get just under 300 miles to the tank, running 22-23 mpg on the highway, about 19 in town...about 230 miles or so.

 

i forgot to mention, i fill up at a 1/4 of a tank all the time (don't trust the gauge)

 

Well I have 164,000 on my car origonal engine and transmission, but when I stopped driving it a while back the third gear is going out and very soon after I stopped driving it the fuel pump went out. So I have a little work a head of me to get my car back on the road.

 

my original lg4 went 217,358miles when she spun a bearing and my transmissin is original with now like 218,500miles on it and so far so good no problems! i did fluid and filter change in the trans and repainted it when i had it out and old fluid was still bright red!

 

248,350 original engine and tranny, daily driver, runs like crap, but working on it. Need new injectors and ignition system, but other than that, its a BEAST!!!!

 

The Red 89 Iroc I drove today has 85K on it. I 've owned it for 14 years.

I get about 22 on the highway. I get probably about 10 everywhere else.

 

257,000 Los Angeles Traffic miles on the original engine and 5-speed. Doesn't leak or burn anything. After 3000 miles, still full of oil. Wait, I lied, the P/S leaks a little at the box, I have to add some fluid every 6 months or so.

As of the count this morning, 27.2 MPG freeway, and the last city tank I did was 22.4 MPG. That was about 3 months ago. Still passes smog and the A/C even works again.

 

199,000 before the thrust bearing started to go out, very noisy every time I stepped on the clutch. Replacement motor has right at 3,000 and last check (last week) right at 22 mpg at 70 -80 mph.

 

I had a 2.8 in my 86 it was running strong at 283 000 kilometres but then I pulled out to pass a guy on a two lane road, hammered it and bent a rod so with the prospect of a rebuild it was a choice of a few extra dollars and double the cubes (173 to 350).

Wow, we've got almost the exact same mileage (within a couple hundred miles) on our 1992 V6 Camaro but I can't bring myself to drive 75 on long trips around here - mostly because I'd get run over since traffic tends to flow closer to 85~90 at times around here. 24mpg is the best I've ever seen, but around town or in mixed driving I get 17~20mpg, mostly because my foot is always to the floorboards trying to get the car moving. It's by far the slowest car of our three and you get used to having a lot more power when it's available you know!

 

The odometer reads 83K but the new suspenion, motor, tranny etc have 3K on them!

 

I have 170,000 miles and every thing is still original... For not at least... Plus i drive it daily...
