Or does it really matter since the the newest car is 18 years old?

Seems that most people say when it its 100k, it's a high miler. As long as it's maintained properly, it should go another 100k with no bottom end issues.
Just my opinion. You'll get a lot of them... ![]()

These sucker's go on forever if maintained well. I have seen ZR1's with 150K plus that ran and looked like a 15K miler. In fact the car ran like a scalded dog.
Just a thought.....one never hear's the question on how many mile's are on that 63-67 Corvette's. I really don't think it matter's , again providing the car has been taken care of.

My chassis has 120k +, but the drivetrain and suspension have been re-done, the motor has about 35k on it. So is it newer, or is it a 120k mile car?

![]() It is assumed inside storage and with no mice ![]() Knowing you Know Stuff.......... yours (XfireZ51) is probably a 35K car if the suspension was redone when you re-did the motor. Last edited by Dynomite; 07-04-2013 at 11:35 PM. |

Dyno,
Mine was pretty much a rhetorical question. From a collector POV, car is 120k. For me it runs like a much newer vehicle. The nice thing is that you can continue refreshing it so in the end as others have pointed out, mileage really matters little.

Thanks Frank you hit it right on the head, no one cares about the miles on a 67, at what point does milage not matter any more.

Rhetorical question or not......it appears you have now put on 32.5K miles on these cams since these photos?

When we looked at the motor during the install, the intake cams still looked like the pic you have above. No wear indication so I feel pretty comfortable w using the Castrol GTX Diesel 15W-40 that I have been using for the last several years.
