Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
All these poor cars.....
They were built to be driven, not tucked away in cocoons. I feel sorry for them, not being able to enjoy the road, but confined to slavery.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
I don't feel sorry for them i feel that they are the lucky ones that have gotten pampered and not abused and reused. I feel that these are the cars that will help us with our restorations on our cars in the coming years.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
71,143....I just drove across the country from AL to WA state in my '85 IROC-Z. I had a blast, got lots of looks and comments. I drive the car daily and still manage to take very good care of the car. Preventative maintenance is the key in keeping any car runnin' strong and lookin' good.

87 Sport Coupe-50 some-odd thousand original grand-ma miles.
89 IROC-126,000 on body, unsure on motor, not very high though. Only have changed the tie-rod ends, the rest is still good, car rides great for an IROC.

EDIT: I think it was my router I have connection problems sometimes and it will not allow me to go to some sites but it will let me go to others... Just unplug then replug after 5 seconds and everything starts working right after it reboots... Its a PITA but it works...

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
89 Trans Am here
Originally 305 TBI car - I got about 175k out of that engine with only replacing the alternator, water pump, and fan
Six years ago the 305 blew a head gasket, so I just replaced the engine with a 350 from a 1970 Camaro SS topped with heads from a 71 Corvette LT1. It has headers and a custom exhaust.
Since the new engine the car has largely been in storage while I am overseas working (for the last six years). I drive it when I am home and it just passed 190k miles this past summer.
I move back in December finally where I plan to continue using it as my daily driver.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
well, i swapped in the 140 mph speedo at about 145,000, and have driven about 5,000 since then. I'll never be sure of my mileage though because my step dad threw out my origional speedo cluster!
Only maintenance ever needed on my car was the usual alternator, water pump, fuel pump, wheel bearings and idler arm.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
My 83 T/A has 63K on it. Original miles, many assembly line parts still on the car such as wipers, brakes, suspension, most all of the lamps, interior, paint, and motor. I ordered this car from the local Pontiac, Buick dealer in the spring of 1983 and took delivery in June.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
OK...
My car 87,xxx
99.9% original. Has new battery, flowmaster exhaust and K&N air filters. Everything else is as it was when my father ordered it new in 89. Has had 1 repaint and is in need of its second.
But more inportantly, what cars had the 160MPH speedo with the 6 digit odo? I have the 145 with only 5 digit.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
No factory 3rd Gen got a 160Mph speedo...
From 1982-1985 ALL 85 Mph
Starting in 1986 the 140/145 Mph speedo was an option depending on features, and depending on the year would determine which Speedo...

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
Refer to the picture in post 132... Sure looks like 160 to me and I saw another one at a junk yard that had the same 160 speedo with the same text that photo has. I thought they were all 145 also but obviously not. I can't remember the year of the one at the junk yard. I think it was an 87 IROC.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
305,000 miles on my 91 RS that I bought new back in May of 1990. The car has the orginal engine and transmission. Just basic oil, fluid & filter changes for the 305 and the 700R4. No rebuilds etc for either!
I think 305,000 miles on a 700R4 without a rebuild is pretty amazing. The transmission is on it's last legs and is starting to slip. I think the LO3 305 could easily see 400,000 miles given the way it still runs.
110,000 miles on the 99 T/A and about 80,000 of that is with heads and cam.

Our 83 T/A has 71,xxx and we bought it 8 years ago with 59,xxx on it. Still has the original LG-4 and 5-speed all matching numbers.
