Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
My 89 GTA has 59K on it, bought it with 27K from the original owner in late 1997 and only put a few thousand miles on it summer 1998, then came back out with turbo V6 drivetrain in 2002 and has traveled about 25K miles scince then.
My TTA's have 73K (#124, owned scince 12/00), 61K (#850, owned scince 4/00), 52K (#884, owned scince 3/02), and 60K (#1461, owned scince 9/07). I dont get to drive them as much as I'd like except for driving 884 and 1461 cross country and 124 home from Chicago.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
Cept the hood!
It had about 110 000km when I got it and now it has 201 500km, with 1500km on the new motor. Nice timing on the swap, the odometer was just shy of 200 000 hehe!
Got my '86 Trans Am in '96. I had a choice between it, or an 84. The 84 was on special at the time but I liked the trim of the slightly newer model, never did like those inserts on the nose.
I think I am the 10th owner, past owners got fed up with the finicky engine (or so I think, when I got it there was a Haynes repair manual in the back with various notes on why it was stalling out at random). Was the wifes daily driver from about 1999 to 2004.
We took it out west back in '97. (I like to say across Canada cause getting to the east coast isn't so bad
)

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
I bought my GTA 14 years ago with about 40K miles on it.. It's got around 97K miles right now.
I drove it a lot when I got it, but for the last five years, I've never put more than 1K per year on the clock. Now I only drive it for three months of the year and normally I only take it out on weekends.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
92 just turned 147,00 all original. Runs and drives like new. My problem is I love driving it so much I can't stop.
86 has 250,00 on it's third motor. While not beat it has been driven but is running strong still.
Maybe when I get my 5th gen I will stop driving these two.

87 Iroc
Original 2 and change.
Present 32,237.
Spec'ed and ordered 12/86
Delivered 2/87
First L98 Iroc at dealership
Had quite a few mechanics and salesmen checking it out
when it rolled off the top of the transporter.
Agreement with salesperson at the time I'd be the first
and only one to drive it off the dealership lot.
I was.
Had to wait 5hrs for dealer prep before turning the key![driving](https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/images/smilies/driving.gif)
De Anza Chevrolet, Riverside CA.
Even got a bunch of promo gifts, Still have the big candy jar.
That was one expensive jar of candy/ $21.856.00 for back
then.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
89 IROC
first owner sold it to a freind of his in 92 with 18000 miles on it(I think, I just gotta find where I wrote it down).
This guy had 16 cars so it didnt get driven much.
I bought it with my dad (50/50) in February of 2000 with 29xxx miles (again, I think, its written somewhere)
It just turned over 34000 on the way to the summernationals.
Never seen snow, salt, or rain. Wipers have been used once since 1990 and original washer fluid is in the tank.
