My 88 has 80,500 and runs like new. I have had to do some work though. At 79,000 I had to put in a new crank, bearings, oil pump, and oil pickup. Other than that it has been hassle free.

Well, since I used 4 cars for my car... my 87 chassis has 30k on it and my 92 w/ motor and trans has about 100k on it, but re-built the motor and tranny when i took them out. So 30k on chassis, 0 on engine/trans w/ a few minor mods to start, I wanna get the thing running first, THEN I'll be buyin heads, intake, supercharger

mine lasted 130k miles light bolt ons that i put on but before i got it someone beat the crap out of it. thats when i had to replace the motor then when i got it back the fuel pump went out fixed that and then the fuel pressure regulator went out. then the distributer messed up not sure why but it wouldn't start for nothing. other than that its been good to me

152k no mods

only thing helping my 302 is a 2.5" exhaust (cats, flowmasters, h-pipe)

ive noticed some problems and i havent had the car for 3k miles yet...

the OD band is very worn (bogs in OD)

ive noticed a stain of coolant around the water pump (no leak but coolant has left a stain on it thinking it leaked at one point???)

i got some worn struts too, car is pretty rough over bumps and hard turns
