Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
My 91 RS has 328,000 plus miles on it. The 305 LO3 engine & 700R4 tranny are both orginal, other than fluid & filter changes neither has been touched over the last 20 years. I bought the car new in May of 1990. The tach is fried showing 4000rpm at 70mph, tranny still holding on. Have been using Mobile 1 ATF since the first tranny fluid change.
Best mpg for the car ever 33.5 mpg on a 180 mile trip last summer.
The RS replaced a 1986 Camaro v6 Sport Coupe.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
Might as well update mine....
88 IROC L98 - 21,750 miles, purchased June 2010 from 2nd owner.
86 Trans Am LB9 - 31,950 miles, purchased March 2010 from 2nd owner.
91 RS LO3 - 119,550 miles, purchased May 2006 after 4th or 5th owner traded it in...bought from dealership I work for.
IROC and TA are stock, RS has bolt ons, might be going for some significant engine work this year. At the moment, the only major work its ever needed, as far as I know, was the head gasket replaced.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
Second owner, bought year ago, of a 1984 Camaro Z28 H.O. with 75k original miles and now has 76k. Original owners let it sit in garage and didnt take care of anything unless it broke.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
My RS has 352,000 miles on it.
I'll still drive the car anywhere as long as there isn't snow or salt on the roads. The honda gets driven in the snow and salt.
Bought new, never had any engine or tranny work done. Last repairs were to fix the cruise control and a new oil pressure sending unit.
Several 1,300 mile trips this summer.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
1991 Firebird, LO3 305, 700R4. All stock, no service to engine, trans, or rear besides regular fluid changes. Its at 111, 345.7 at this moment, but heres a photo I took about 2 weeks ago showing my odometer at exactly 111,111.1 miles. I was looking forward to that mile mark and just happened to roll into my driveway at that exact reading one day and had to take a photo.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
Was just looking up at my post from July 2010 when I had 156k and I've got a bit more now.
Currently my 91 Z28 is at 162,800 miles. Apparently I put ~5500 miles on my car driving back and forth between my ex's house between November of 2010 and August of 2011. It was a 25 mile drive there and 25 miles back. I drove that about 2-3 times a week for those 8 and a half months.

Re: whats your mileage on your fbody?
The miles are by accident. I spent the last 25+ years travelling for work, so they didn't get driven a great deal. Most were bought new, a couple are more recent purchases. When you take into account what late model cars cost, nice third gens are a steal!
