Was this miles or the amount of money we've spent on the car?

My 91 SC has 75K and adding more fast. Unfortunately the more mods I make, the more I want to drive the car. My 2000 Ford Explorer (Company Car) has about 3,000 and sits alot.
Thanks, David
PS: SCP is two for two on parts orders delivered on time as promised. Keep up the good work Bill & Patty !

My odometer quit working last year and I thought this is a neat way to keep miles off of the car, so to speak, so it's not entirely bad. Well, when I finally found a cheap replacement speedo, guess what? It had almost exactly the correct miles on it for what I had driven with the odometer not working.....sigh!

The original engine that was in my car had 86,000 when it took it's last breath,(some idiot who had it before me put an underdrive pully on it with no modifications done to the exhaust, and I didn't realize it until it was too late). The new "used" engine that I put in runs like it's a tight engine so I'm guessing right now,I have under 50,000 on my car.
:cool:

My 1990 5-speed has almost 50,000 on it now, bought it 4 years ago with 33,000 from original owner. Can't wait for the next 50,000 miles (OK, I can wait, but they will be enjoyed!)

I had a new trans. put in after 86,000 because tech screwed it up during routine
maint. I now have 167,000 and it's a 94'

My 91 SC 5spd has 32k orig miles.Runs and looks
like new. Most frequently asked question
"What kind of car is that??"
Rob Noth
10-26-2000, 02:01 PM
191,000. Got the engine rebuilt at 181,500. And just about every other significant part on the car (except the tranny!) has probably been replaced at some point - radiator, steering rack, control arms, wheel bearings, brakes, exhaust, etc...
I think it's held up remarkably well, considering how hard I drive it!

'92 SC - 5 speed: Ticker reads 97.5K miles. I'm changing to a 5.0 HO with a turbo, after the head gasket goes on the original motor.

Had it since saturday and have already put 1,600 miles on it. It sits in the garage w/97,653 on it. I notice the mileage when I get out each night... and hate to see the odo roll so quickly. I need a beater!

My 90 has 210,000 KM on it, it had 151,000 when I bought it 3 years ago. Blew the HG about a month ago, and now its in the shop getting the tranny done.
Looking forward to having back in a few days!!

DAMN! I can't believe some of the low mileage figures I keep seeing.
I thought my 90 XR7's was low @67,000. I love driving this car so much
that it's not really a concern, though.

Mine is now pushing 213,000 original miles and still runs pretty well, but i think a rebuild will be in order sometime soon.........
p.s - have only had the head gaskets replaced once during
the last 5 years that i've had it.........
