Title: 300,000 (almost)
Post by: Haystack on May 30, 2005, 04:25:35 PM
I just found some records of my car by the vin # online..... My car had 267,000 miles on it 3 years before I got to it. I called up the place and asked about the records and the had them all the way from 120,000 to the 267,000 miles. And yes, my car is still on the origonal engine! :banana: So I am right around 297,000 miles(gee I wonder why it dosent run ;) )

Sweet. I'd like to get all the records on my car before I got it. It went to 194,000 with the original motor. It still ran halfway decent when I swapped it out so who knows how long it may have gone. But it was leaking way too much oil and I wanted to try for more hp so...

My old 87 XR7 had over 350,000 miles on it when I got rid of it. Motor ran great still, but the body, or lack there of, was pretty rotted. When we stripped it, found out the pass. front frame rail was rotted in two, right behind the shock tower. :hick:

297,000 Miles ???? Wow, that is very much miles . Many trips and laps around the earth eh ?...

My car has,mmm, i dont know, my odometer resets every time when the car is turned off (or thirty kilometers when is running), but with this engine, 2,000 kilometers is much. I dont use very much the car.....

My old Cougar get past the 345,000 miles (i  still have the odometer, car aquired when it had 80,xxx miles and three laps after...) and without a rebuild, and was in pretty good shape when it crashed...
