[Shotimes] Re: Highest mileage running SHO?

[Jim and Debbie Leyden]

The one part of the equation that people are leaving out is the year and the
duty of the car.  The one on Ebay was a salesman's car and 400,000 in 11
years isn't hard to believe at all.  Besides they would be all highway
miles.  OTH my wife's '93 with 262,000 of FAMILY driven miles is really a
bunch!  I'm not saying the car is all original (we have put rings and
bearings in it), but the normal driving that a family uses a car for are a
lot more taxing than a freeway only driven salesman's car.

Damn

See I'm buying this 335k mile one for my brother, and I'm tempted to not
pull the rod bearings till I hear a knock, and/or bother with the valve
lash, just so that I can see how long it can go for before the engine dies
:-) Thankfully the previous owner took good care of it, and I'm realy
interested to see how far it can go without major work.

There was one on eBay recently that had just shy of 400,000 (something like
394,000).

Whats the current highest mileage running SHO out there that people have
heard of? I have know of a 335K mile one with all original rodbearings and
never had a valve lash. Will prolly be parked in my driveway soon for my
brother to drive, after I go over it and perhaps replace the rod bearings. I
just wnated to get an idea of what are some of the other high mileage
numbers out there
