The wagon's drivetrain has about 230k miles, but the body either has 165k or 265k, it doesn't have a hundred thousand miles place so I don't know how many times it's rolled over. Same deal with my '66 C10, but the previous owner had receipts for 270k miles, so it's had a few trips around the block...

It is really hard to say and depends on if we are talking engine, body, suspension, interior, etc. I've swapped so many parts over the years, I have lost track of the mileage.

Best guess is 160 - 180K on the Body. Speedo was swapped at 140K and since have maybe put 20-30K additional on the Z-Cluster. Cant remember what that cluster had when I installed it. Also engine/tranny swap somewhere during that time too and it was a used drivetrain along with a new/used rear.

Car is a hodge podge of parts from many cars and the only thing original is the paint which still looks pretty good. Except for the front clip after a Deer wanted a ride. Every part on the car was installed by my favorite Mechanic :)

285,000

Just passed 285,000 miles. no major engine work. tranny last worked 185,000 miles ago. Still strong as hell. just replaced oil level sensor with a sight gauge, and replaced crank position sensor seal. had cats replaced recently as well as all 4 o2 sensors. I think i'm the luckiest owner i know.:):):)

321,000. Trans done at 220,000. 3 waterpumps, balljoints at 200,000, 1 P/S pump with Delco pump, now leaking and needs another thanks to crappy quality replacement parts, radiator and heater core, MSD Cap and rotor on original opti. Other than that, just general maintenance, brake pads, tires, etc. Of the 321,000, I have put 200,000 on the car since I bought it in 2005 after 121,000 in federal service.

96 Caprice Classic. All original. Bought from a little old lady with 74,500 on it, now have 141,000. No major repairs as of of late, unless you count the new radiator I'm currently putting in. Or the fuel pump, a couple of 10,000 miles ago.
