I think Hal Copple is pushing 70,000 on his. I also seem to recall a thread where everyone talked about how many miles are on their cars.

I second what mattr762 says. The wilder the motor, the shorter the life span. The harder it is driven, the shorter the life span. When mine is done, I am going to just tear it apart and restore it. With that mind set, there is no such thing as 'high miles'.

Generally parts on these cars just don't last the 150K you expect out of a new car from a major manufacturer. Mainly because we beat on them. But then again, they are almost infiniately rebuildable.

Not an answer really, just some thoughts on the subject.
