Wow. This proves the longevity of these engines.

was probably replaced at some point, IMO. Cars are generally beat. Plus it only looks clean thanks to some armoral and elbow greese.

Yep, that's pretty darn good, but it's less than half of what some have put on the SBC.

Wow. Makes me wonder how many times the transmission was rebuilt with that many miles.

I'll take the FD

A friend of mine has one with about 330K, original engine and trans. Has the typical stupid Illinois rust around the gas filler in the rear quarter panel. But otherwise, its a solid tank of a car. Interior still looks new except for the typical saggy leather on the driver's seat. Back when I had my Beretta, I really liked how solid and indestructible the GPs seemed in comparison.

293k on my GTP, its on its 3rd transmission though.

I have a hard time believing the trans is original with that much mileage. But otherwise I agree they are very solid cars if taken care of...the ones I see in the junkyard have either high miles or are rusted to nothing....usually both.

The same trans tends to die sooner in a Riviera because of the extra weight, same reason why it holds up better in a Fiero.

Regardless, still pretty clean for its age and mileage even if the engine was replaced.

Local old guy has more than that on his 96 Bonnie. On his second trans otherwise stock with new lim gaskets and a sc coupler and a new harmonic balancer.

That's what I thought too.

Are you sure its not a dealer typo? Because I wouldn't pay 1000 bucks for something with 400,000 miles. How much does NADA says its worth?

Not a typo. You can read the odometer in the pics.
