The 89 has about 190,000 miles but everything but the radiator cap has been. . . .wait, that was replaced too. Seriously, at about 160.000 miles just about everything had to be replaced. The engine lost the oil pump drive which pretty much did the engine in as well. The transmission gave it up about then but we got by on a junk yard special till about three mopnths ago and I had to rebuild it. Funny thing though. It ran as fast at 160,000 as it did when we first got it. Tough little motors.
The Green thing has about 160,000 miles on it but the transmission finally gave in about a month ago, same thing for it. The engine was replaced twice before we got it, No. 1 had a nitrous nightmare and blowed up, the second did the same I heard. THe 331 in it now is stock as far as add-ons go. Intake, heads, MAF. . .everything stock.
These cars have some really hard miles on them. The 82, which is in retirement waiting to be pieced out, had some really hard miles on it. The Cleveland in it went about 2 years at the hands of my youngest son before it said F**kitt!!
