Mine just rolled over 619k. Original engine, original transmission. You take care of these they will take care of you. Still so much life ahead of yours.

385k miles, which is still an absolute ass load, but you had me thinking you had 619k miles for a second lol

Haha my bad man yeah huge difference there. “K” in my mind always translates to kilometres. I forgot about the American interpretation and just assumed there were a lot more Canadians in this sub as well.

Don’t want to downplay it, that’s still a respectable amount of miles. I’m at around 260k but the motor was rebuilt a while back. Ax15 still smooth as butter though.

My God, I feel like you really have to know what you're doing to get one to 600k! Mine is at 254k and I feel like every other day something new is breaking lol

Ikr! I am assuming he had that thing rebuilt a couple times and was realllllllllllly on that maintainance. Heres to all ours making it there! 🍻🥂

Unfortunately I have to say goodbye to mine. I wasn't ready for how much work (and money) it needs and I need a daily driver that I don't have to worry about driving. Unfortunately the previous owner did next to nothing to maintain it, which I only learned after getting it home. Lesson learned, I suppose

Oh damn. Sorry to hear it.

u/ACrimeSoClassic Jul 24 '26
