Quip1337x Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I was reading that the world record for the highest mileage car is held by Volvo P1800 at 3.2 million miles. So that got me thinking, who here on VS has the highest mileage? Just for fun, I'll start. If Volvos really do last forever then why not show the world? 1998 Volvo C70 coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT5M Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Believe the R cluster in the S70 shows 180k, while real mileage is likely closer to 300 as I bought it 10 years ago with 198k. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 325,000+ I bought the car at 67,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 IIRC bought with 111,000 in 2006 just shy of 200,000 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quip1337x Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Looks like Zappo 's got us beat. I have a feeling Were far off from the highest here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 but he is on like his third motor or at least rebuild. I'm still original motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quip1337x Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I read that the world record holder for 3.2 million miles rebuilt his engine twice even when the mechanic said it wasn't needed. So the rules stay the same rebuilt or not. At least according to the world record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 met him years and years ago at a large east coast meet. Seemed nice enough, there are mixed reviews of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quip1337x Posted September 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 You would think having a WR holding car would inflate your ego a lot. If he was at all down to earth about it then that takes determination. That sounds like a ton of fun. I'm keeping my eye out for north west coast shows. Even if my C70 isn't show quality it would be fun to just be there and learn and see what I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Big one on your coast is called Davis. don’t know much about it buts huge and lots of OG people from here go. not sure if IPD does their big show still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you never said it had to be the original motor. The car has that mileage, the engine does not. I have blown up 3 engines, but I have had 5 in the car. Well, technically 4 since I am running the original block right now. It is a combination of the last 2 engine failures. I am sure there are several cars on here that can beat my mileage and on the original engine as well. 6 hours ago, Quip1337x said: You would think having a WR holding car would inflate your ego a lot.

Davis is bigger, but it is a bit of a hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikv11 Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Not me, I've got 290k on the 98, but I will note it is still the factory motor. It was 200k when I got it in 2013. For better or worse, the mileage here gets spread out among a few cars ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
