is that the first one million mile car?

79CamaroDiva 02-12-2008 08:09 AM

i dont think so.. but maybe first passenger vehicle.. tractor trailers hit that a lot.

on another note.. my jeeps over 1/4 of the way there.... :lol:

WildBillyT 02-12-2008 08:15 AM

I think there was a diesel Benz that hit 2.85 million (it was a Greek Taxi) and the world record is Irv Gordon and his 1966 Volvo P1800—at 2.5 million miles.

Still really impressive.

Just a few weeks ago I saw an older VOLVO station wagon at my local Shop-Rite. On the front grill it had a VOLVO badge that said "Certified 1,000,000 miles". Then under it was ANOTHER VOLVO badge and it said "Certified 2,000,000 miles". That's a lot trips around the block! :shock:

It would take several members from this board to add their milage of lets say 11 cars to equal that of one silverado

:rofl: So, the 2.5 million mile car has the record.... and the 2.85 million mile benz does not? ;)

Gregorio Sachinidis - 1976 Mercedes 240D - 2.85 million miles

I have 185,000 on the Camaro and 126,000 on the T/A, I've put 10k on the T/A sense I picked it up, and I bought the Camaro with 160,000.

I put 260k on my BMW. The closest I put on an F-Body was 138k on the 'Hawk.

karr95 02-12-2008 03:15 PM

About 6 months ago I remember reading that a SAAB went 1 million miles. I think SAAB gave him a new car in trade for his.

I wonder how much of that Million Mile Truck is still original. Figure that the tranny had to be rebuilt at least twice to go that far.

ryanfx 02-12-2008 03:19 PM

saab was running a special for a while where if you drove any saab for 1 million miles they would give you a free one

79dizZy28 02-12-2008 04:08 PM

I'm pretty sure the guy with the volvo got a free new volvo for his first million.

EchoMirage 02-12-2008 05:01 PM

i read somewhere that GM wanted to buy/take the truck, and tear down the motor to see what it looked like after 1 mil. miles.
