I think 100,000 miles is a lot. But if taken care of they can run for a long time. A guy I knew had 225,000 miles w/boltons and a 125 shot. At work the other day, I saw one with 206,000 miles. But it had a few to many ticks. Taken care of they can run forever though.

+1

if the body is in good shape thats all that really matters. the engines are a dime a dozen and are easy to install. plus a rebuild isnt all that expensive. just finding a SOLID body to start with is the hard part
