Miles I'm assuming?

Maybe we should specify since its a multi-national board.

Got one in the 256k miles.
Its DOA right now, I let mom use it and she got it hot and killed it
The 87 has 185k on the body, but I dropped an engine in it with 128k miles so it doesn't count

looks like most pre 97s have no problem passing the 250k mark. my '97 has about 200k and it runs great, except a lifter is getting loud when i first start it.
my 99 has 165k miles and it runs like a fresh built motor.
