I checked that frequently. The high mileage site seems to have died. USMB
sent a bad impression about how "local yocal" the thread posters really are,
I left there in frustration. I made a hobby out of old soobs. Lately I have
been eyeing the slow threads at the old school section of nasioc.
I did get a photo of some old schools with high mileage, one having over .5
million from usmb

In the scenario of old soob I am in, 30 years is quite likely after
stepping back from some welding and thinking about it. 20 years original
engine, never rebuilt at 109 k. I hope there is a world record documented
someday. That volvo claiming over a million, or even the saab turbo I found
with over 1 million is so unlikely it puts a pit on my stomach. then there
is the old school soobs not many pays attention to...
be it from an aviation trip or car or other project, the old 3 main
bearings have proven to be something special.
My original question is based on real world every day and a car that is
truly satisfactory in it. A 1977 is a bit freaky, like a 360, but the 80s
versions are something I would not be surprised to see in coming years. I
have spotted a early 80s hatchback thumping around local, it is of course 25
or more years old~
Am I the only one who thinks "wow, that is incredible!" Not just to drive
as a gimmick or historical value.I mean everyday chores and not a problem...
