118xxx on mine. Just finished rebuild, due to oil pan leaking and I had the cam gear off by one tooth when I installed the LT4 Hotcam a couple of years ago.
The rotating assembly was in great shape before, but I should be good to go up to 300K now.
118K crank and cylinders. Before, plenty of life left in it.
Exactly... love to see these cars still running strong after so many miles. They run better and last longer when they are driven regularly!
I've got 60,000 miles and drive about 6,500 per year. So, she will hit 100k around the year 2021. Many miles and many smiles to go... enjoying the journey getting there!
I can't imagine driving that little. I put 6500 on my GTO since May 15th...
122k on my 85 had 108k when I bought it about 3 years ago. i have 3 trucks and 2 more cars with more miles than that. my 85 monte carlo has 314k on it.

I did say I drive 6500 per year which is technically incorrect. The Corvette is not my only vehicle. DD is a 2006 Tacoma that sees about 12,000 miles per year. So my yearly total is over 18,000.[/QUOTE]
Original paint and inside,, Still running and driving great!
WOW that's some good mileage and she is still gorgeous!
What have you done to her over the course, other than belts brakes hoses tires and other wear parts? Opti & water pump? U-joints? Wheel bearings? Alternator? Very curious.
