The odometer read about 83,000,miles. I am entering my forth year of ownership. When I bought it the engine was said to be rebuilt. I have put about 1000 miles on it. I would estimate about 3000 miles on this engine.

Bought it in 98 with 9,600 original miles, now has 20,200. Miles verified.

Grandpa bought it for grad present, got in pissing match with the grandson and Grandpa put it in the garage for 25 years. Glad he wasn't my Grandpa!! :D

195,700

Will go over 200,000 in about 3 months.

Next target - 300,000.

I drive about 100,000 miles in 5 years on my Vette.

Good old crossfire - still plugging away.

My odometer shows 45k, but hasn't moved since I got it. The second owner said he had seen it move in a while either. I am guessing well over 100k actual miles.

My '82 Corvette is my lowest mileage car at 65,000.

I drive to work in my Honda Del Sol, 129,000.

My record is my Toyota Corolla, with 367,000 (but the head has just developed a slight crack).

I like the Corvette the best.

79k almost 80. Drug it out of the garage where it was stored for 17 years with 58k on it. That was about 1 2/3 years ago. Hope to be up in the 200k crowd after a while ;)
