My 87 GP with the stock 305 has just under 120k on it. Hasn't seen any in over a month, because it wont stay running on me, and is just sitting in the lot at work. Up until just under 100k, it was all original...and I mean ALL original. Carb had never been touched. Still had the factory plugs over the idle mixture screws, and everything. Hell, it still has the rivets holding the choke housing cover on. Definitly need to figure out what's wrong with it and get it running nd on the road again. OK, story's over...

My dad's 87 Cutlass (he bought new in 88 wit 3k on the odo) had 279,000 on her when we sold it in 2003. He had the stock 307 with either a TH200 or a 2004r transmission. Mostof it was highway miles asthatcar as been all over the country and was our family car for 12 years. After only 1 year, it blew a head gasket; a few years later, the intake gasket, alternator, and other basic stuff. in 1999, my dad took it to a local mechanic at our current home in Iowa; (he bougt it whe we lived in Cali) to have the carb rebuilt. One thing the Iowa guys did no know was that it was a California model and had a California carb with high altitude jets. They decided that since the carb had "extra holes" that they needed to fill them in with epoxy. The car never ran the same since. But because of the high milage on his 307, my dad loves the engine. It was still solid the day we sold it, it just needed a new carb.

My Cutlass has 97K and no special stories behind it.

My 84 Cutlass with the original 307, thm200, and 2.14's went about 129,000 miles before it gave out. I knew it was on the way out, it was starting to have oiling issues. I was hoping it would last through the winter but ofcourse it didn't lol.

I had around 160,000 on my 307 before pulling it for the 455. Still ran just fine and was only starting to show a slight puff of blue smoke at WOT.
The Cutlass body had almost 200,000 miles on it before I started the restoration.

My 87 went 145k on the original 307, th200, 7.5 with 2.14 gears.
Mind you, in 145k it never got a filter kit and new fluid til I got it. The motor had one oil change in the 8 or so years the previous owner/junkyard had the car. The car was smacked up several times, one of them so bad it was totaled, junked, fixed then resold by the junkyard. They never titled it so it has a clean title.
It then managed to live through my rather spirited driving. WOT was the only throttle position and sideways was the only way to go up the street. Not a problem with it. Didn't really use or leak oil, trans didn't burn fluid or start slipping, rear is still perfectly fine.
The only reason I pulled the motor and trans was because I wanted to go faster. I'm sure I could drop them in another car and go at least another 50-100k miles with proper maintenance.
