I'm the second owner of the '75. My uncle bought it new in Santa Monica. Drove it every day from HB to SM, about 150 each day, in 5th gear by the way. When he parked it he put 325,000 on it. He's a nerdy engineer at MD (Boeing) and he tore down the engine 2x to measure everything. He did not replace anything when doing so, well, maybe the bearings. But when I tore it down, everything was stock.

177,000 miles. My 6 has been in the family since new, I'm the 2nd owner, My step-dad sold her to me. At 100k, top end, upgraded to run unleaded fuel

I've got some reciepts that show a tune up, valves and carbs for like $90, lol. Sure wish I could get those kind of prices today.

Later, Don

19734...or 119734...or maybe 219734. Don't know for certain. I do know that the speedometer/odometer is the original.

My white 73 had 85K when I bought it, found out before we exchanged fund it was at least 185K. Speedo didn't work so i am pretty sure that one is over 200K

My silver 72 shows 56K right now, I am thinking 156K

Oh, and when looking for a teener someone always says the mileage,but in one ear and out the other. Most likely it has another 100k on it than what they think. All that matter is if the tub is in good shape

Mine was stuck on 56xxx when I bought it from the original owner. I've never bothered to fix the odo (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/yellowsleep[1].gif).
I would estimate between 100,000- 150,000. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

the speedo I put in has odo reading of 76012, but there was a period of about 9 years where the speedo didn't function, and this one showed 16000 when I put it in. My brother bought the car as 2nd owner in 76 when it had 3X000. I don't know how long he drove it before the speedo died, but when I bought the car from him in 1990 we estimated it had about 160000. So I figure what it all washes out to is about 300k, The engine has been out many times, top-end rebuilt 3 times, bottom end twice. EVERYTHING else has been rebuilt at least once I think except the transaxle, and I have not removed the dash or gas tank. I'm needing some 2nd gear synchros, but otherwise it likes to be driven hard!

Just turned over 58,000 miles, according to the odometer. I'm the 4th owner. The 3rd owner put 600 miles on it and had bought it from a friend who had owned it since '78. I tend to believe it based on the condition of the car and the documentation. I've got a Quaker State sticker from an oil change on the door that reads 48,000 miles.

Just turned over for the third time in July. So I'm working on just over 300,000 miles. Since I'm putting about 15,000 miles a year on it now, 400,000 may not be in the too far future.

Since I have mine in pieces all over the garage, while I had the odo apart, I reset it to 00000.
