How many miles....

[MR442]

I got just under 20000 on my 442 . But have had a 82 88 with 307 and 250000 miles , when sold that is . And know of some with over 300000 . But the norm seems to be 150000 or so.

One of my buddies has an 81 or 82 Cutlass 4-door with a 350 diesel and well over 250,000... i always thought they died a 40k

Just hit 160, and might be making it a daily soon so it will get plenty more racked up on it.

My '87 Cutty Sup w/orig 307 V8 just turned 55,400 original miles. Only drive the car on a sunny weekend day. Motor runs very strong. Just had to have the heater core replaced. Most other engine parts w/exception of belts and hoses are original.

The '81 Calais had 185K on the original 260 / TH350. Figuring it would had more if it wasn't stolen (luckily got it back with little damage, that the cops caused :evil: )then sat for about 8 months before being fixed. It finally started losing compression on two of the cylinders around 170K but still went ok until a third started dropping. We swapped the 260 for a '76 350 and continued to beat on it - I believe it's still roaming in Indy somewhere.

The '86 has about 81K on the body, less than 4K on the entire drivetrain (motor-trans-rear-exhaust). Original was a 307/th200 (yes a 200) and 2.14 rear end; nothing wrong with that combo except for that th200 that is. Like longhorn, really only drive it on good, dry days so haven't racked the miles up on it.

Off-topic
Though not a G-Body my W-Body was at 179K until pops wrecked it. Still driveable but haven't gotten the will / need to fix it. Maybe one day, unless another project comes along...

Bought the Malibu with about 44000 kms (about 27000 miles) about a year and a half ago. It's up to a little over 80000 kms (about 49000 miles) now.
