Alright people. Who has the highest mileage for a 1G? Doesn't matter if it's had 1 engine or 20. Highest chassis mileage wins!! I'll set the bar high.

311,227 miles :thumb:

Three. Just swapped in a NT block with a turbo 1400 miles ago.
 
I just rolled 170,??? on second motor and its not my daily driver anymore.
 
183k and in the process of a rebuild and a new chassis because women are out to destroy me. After my cars back up Im going to start my MadMax upgrades, you know harpoons and all that good stuff.

BRING IT ON CANDY PANTS!!!
 
Ok...I have just a few miles...

214k on the original engine! :)

I can send a pic to prove it if anyone needs...:)

Had a 90 Lazer or is it Laser... ehh bought year last summer from the original owner, and sold it a month ago with 230,XXX on the original engine... while i owned it, the original tranny finaly gave out at 227,463. OMG... that "longest living" dsm tranny i've ever seen.
 
My 90 Talon has 215K miles on the chassis.

2nd motor; that has about 110,000 miles on it.

She doesn't look bad for being old...
 
143k on the 92 talon awd before it croaked, currently rebuilding.

95k on the 90 eclipse gs-t, i will prove given proper maintence a turbo motor can last a indefinately (at least the bottom end and the turbo) exhaust valves will fatigue with heat cycles and should be replaced at 200k miles.

I had a lebaron gts 2.2 turbo I with 190k miles all original with just a mere headgasket replacment.
 
I know its kinda off subject but my girlfriends dad had a lebaron turbo with 214k miles without turbo timing it at all. The car JUST broke down with the second owner.

172,000 on the original engine and tranny - and it's my daily driver. And yes, I drive it pretty hard. It has seen an autocross, a road course trackday, and several weekend drives this year. Changed out the original turbo about 15k miles ago.
 
127K on original engine and tranny:thumb: Still running strong. Doing a compression test in a few weeks, but the car pulls very hard!
 
167,000 and some change when I pulled the motor. Mine gets ran real hard. And also it is 5 years newer than most of you. Check my profile if you want to see what it looks like right now:cry: It will be done some day:) ......Oh wait it is a DSM :laugh:
 
243,000 on original bottom end. (and tranny!) tranny was the demise. but tranny is getting rebuilt, and lower mileage bottom end is going in. engine still ran good, but had low compression. 100 psi or so. 91 talon awd
