WHAT'S YOUR MILEAGE ???
WHAT'S YOUR ODOMETER SHOW
My '73 is not a daily driver, but I do not hesitate to take it out for some fun. My odometer reads 151,311. When I bought it in '88 it was around 87,000

Read 13,000+ miles when I bought it.......now it reads 29,987 miles. :yesnod:
So, my best guess is that the car now has 129,987 miles. :chevy

WHAT'S YOUR ODOMETER SHOW
Bought my '82 in May '00 from the 3rd owner with 11,137 miles showing (
knowing owners #2 & #3, I have no-doubt it is legit ), and it went into 'hibernation' on 1 Dec '03 with just over 21,550 miles on the clock.

250,000 miles. Quarter million. Original engine & drivetrain never been touched. New spark plugs every 100,000 whether it needs it or not.

Re: WHAT'S YOUR MILEAGE ??? (Laguna70)
65,000 but the speedo is a 140mph unit from a 78-78 car and I own an 80. So, actual mileage, UNKOWN.

Re: WHAT'S YOUR MILEAGE ??? (lotahp)
86K, but the odometer's broke! It sat from 1981 t0 1999 with what I believe was the third legal owner (it was stolen TWICE in the seventies), so that's about right. It's my low mileage queen with 177K on the Corvair and 150K on the BOSS mustang. Even my wife's Subaru and Suburban have over 150K! Gotta drive...
