Highest mileage?

[Rexy74]

I was looking on the net the other night and saw an 1989 mustang 5.0 that had 240 thousand miles on the clock since new and i was wondering if their are any high mileage falcons out there that are still going strong on their original engines?

i have an EB series 2 that has 414413kms that i bought second hand and my old man has a 1978 XC fairmont station wagon that has 220687kms on the original engine.

i think the guiness world record is for a Volvo P1800 with 1.3 million!

[needfordspeed]

My dads EA has 1.3 million easy, on it's third engine now, don't know about gearbox, 2nd diff and every panal has been in a smash yes it was an ex taxi, he wants to get a newer car when this one dies but it's just not dying................

[Gubas]

My dads old 1974 LTD had just over 500,000 kays before it died. Original driveline too. Wayne's (madnc_8) hilux might put that record too shame tho!

[sbcb]

My EB2 is near new, only a poultry 265000km. Nearly run in so soon i'll be able to start gunning the motor a bit. Have to check where the factory warrenty is at before I rip into mods though.

[LUXO_8]

haha our 93 Hilux is at 609,000 odd...original engine, box, diff and suspension....

it still goes suprisingly well.........uses a bit of oil but its to be expected..
i wanna see it get to 700,000

My NC has 317,000, engines just about said enough - but it was a bit crook when i bought it 3 years ago so has done well IMO..... 347 should be finished soon hopefully

I've got 290,000 on the clock of my '94 EF, still going strong with original engine, maybe throw in a BA motor when it goes. Would you class that as 'high milage?'

and here I was thinking I needed to stop doing so many K's in my EF :
Mine is a '95 XR6 with around 264,000 K's .. so not so many after all..
she's had a few dummy spits but is powering along again (as far as I know its the original motor)

[TURBO_GHIA]

my mates au have 480,000 on it

and my mums volvo has high 300,000 on it

[hercar]

when i bought the EA it had 240k and the head looked like it had been done.
it's now done 306k and still fries the rear tyres ( well, one tyre).

[locknut]

I've had my 1989 EA GL for 2 weeks now, and it has 342 XXX on the clock. As you'd prolly kno mine did have a inoperable odometer until last night when I fixed it.

It has a reco'd HM GEM motor in it fitted at 310 XXX (got paper work).


The mighty 1989 HG Galant GSR was purchased at 137 XXX km, and now has a healthy 259 XXX km. Replaced motor at 194 XXX (my fault), and it's now needing it's 3rd gearbox..

Good to kno my falcon's not the only wannabe taxi! lol

[Damo]

my EA had 280,000 kms on it in 1998, still on the same engine and headgasket, 1 diff and 1 gearbox have blown, the rough estimate on km's is around 440-460,000 k's now. Still goes strong too. The last 6 odd years it has been flogged by 2 P platers haha.

[Racecraft]

My EL has 680 000 kays on it.. wouldn't know it to look at but I refus to change the odometer... Wear it with pride I say :P

not bad considering it was a cab! ( it was a cab wasnt it lol....)

[devilracer_01]

My Verada is upto 288,000kms and still going alright, uses a little bit of oil but still has some balls for the 3lt V6

The EL well she has low kms she is just about to click over 130,000kms, not bad for a 1996 model and she dont use a drop of oil, and dont leak any either. She will be around for a good four years yet.

[Brent79]

469,000Kms on my EB wagon. Original block, new head (only coz i wanted the XR head) No smoke as yet....

haha i was about to say "cue racecraft's pic of his 600000km dash".

[Deanodriver]

This all makes my 357500km '88 Pintara seem like a spring chicken...

(then again, it's on it's third engine, which isn't exactly healthy, I think it blew a HG, and I've been driving it around until I can afford a replacement)

[CRUIZINEA]

My EA had 149,000 on it when i bought it, now 3 months later im on 154,000 ks.
im just waiting for the gead gasket to go, can any one tell me when it will go?approx.

[Grechie]

my old CFI had about 600,000km on it b4 it went POP

EDIT: i think i actually made it go pop...ehehehehe ;)

[sphell]

i think TigaEL would win the highest kay's here...his car has something like 900,000 on it I think.

[EAman]

My mate got me to buy him a AU 99model taxi and it had 667 000 and something what a rat roller it was

[BuuBox]

My EB Fairmont just rolled over to the magic 300,000kms mark. Doesn't use too much oil (rocker cover leak), does 10L/100kms if I drive it like my grandma, and definatly on it's original engine and head. Might even be on it's original HG, doesn't really look like it's been changed.

Must do the valve steam seals one day though...

[efgiar]

he was doing 59 in a 40 zone! STAB HIM! lol jk man, hopfully ur car will go well for the next 300,000kms mines done 192,XXX

[bprint xr8]

I know of a couple of fairlanes that have been used as hire cars that have wound the clock before being disposed of. The NL was still on original motor and only 2nd box.

These cars are doing between 600 - 1000kms per day 5 days a week.

[NEG]

my NC has just hit 700 000ks. Ex-limo

[niko]

my old mans truck 1.5mill and just got a new motor for it

[jd dad]

EA Taxi I drove years back was on 875,000 last time I saw it and still went like the clappers, 2nd engine thou I reckon

[Tiga_EL]

My EL falcon is still on its original motor, with original trans thats about to die in the next couple of days. It has done 970,000 kms. Waiting on it to hit the magic million. So far theres no problems with it (touchwood) and it drives ok, gets kaned every day. Obviously an ex cab.

[snypereb]

237,000 i think not to bad compared to some!!

[chich]

Jesus... and here i am cringing because my 96 Fairmont just hit 160,000km. If i bought the thing new it'll just be coming up to 100,000km now!
