Still a Motorhead, Mine is a 98 with 52,000 and as soon as I get all the bugs out, I plan on running it as long as I can drive. These cars have character and just feel good wrapped around my butt.
I wanted one for several years and finally found a cherry thats all pearl white and not a scratch on the inside or out and it has all options except the sunroof which I hate anyway casudse they leak sooner or later.

I put glasspacks on it and now want to chip it and fix the airbox and then thats it for the mods unless the sway bar or shocks act up. Other than that, I am collecting hard to find parts and running it briskly now thats not hard nor soft but sorta in between and I figue once I get a new engine built up from my core spare motor I am set.xo

Glad to see them running so long. I sold a 96 LSC but it only had like 75k at the time. Just bought a 93 with 68k original going to use as a daily driver.....bright/long future I hope.

The old Saxmobile was sent to it's 3rd owner with 215K mi, and still running strong, ready to dash through the woods, or up a flight of stairs at a moments notice, although I'm fairly certain that I'm the only person in that cars life who drove it like that...

I can't disclose the milage of the current Saxmobile, but I can say that the car has been driven gingerly in comparison... :D

176,000 miles

New motor, tranny, suspension all the way around, amplifier, too many tires, wheel bearings, lots of brake pads, door handles, 2 alternators, 1 tuneup.

On the list - windows don't go down, a/c clutch bearing, ball joints, control arms...

still loving it though. Maybe 12k all in including purchase price for 7 years and 125k miles of fun!

My 93 Pearl white "Costa Del Sol Edition" has 66,000 miles. I did the 1/2 accumulator even though really didn't need it, MSD wires, chip, wanted to keep Lincoln wheels on her so I bought a set of the Octastars, put the 97 T-Bird Monroes Sensa-tracs with the stock bushings that I had a bon fire in the back yard to burn the old rubber off, cleaned them up, painted them so they wouldn't rust and installed, drilled airbox and filled air tube, still have to remove the piece that is on the passenger side inside the wheel well. I guess that's all I can remember but she rides great and can haul when she wants to.:) :)

Just over 91,000 mi on mine.

Only had it 3 weeks though, put 2k mi on it since purchase in Detroit.

Expecting another long trip soon, relocation from Boston to Dallas. Woo hoo!:D

That's pretty low mileage for a 93.

What's a "Costal Del Sol Edition"? Is that a dealer option?

I'd like to see a Gen 1 with Octastars.

Please post photos of your car in the users rides section..:)

To keep with the subject here, I've updated my mileage in my signature. I'm shootin' for 200k miles..:)

Wow Kevin, you're going to have a lot of driving to do to get 3 vehicles to your new home!![/div]

Yep, that would be a whole lotta drivin, if all 3 were going. :D

Going to leave the 95 Tbird at my sister's in Boston, so that I don't have to rent a car for when I visit (plus there are sentimental reasons for keeping it).
Plus it gives her an extra car should hers breakdown.

But yeah, I'm looking forward to the 4,000 miles worth of relocation driving. The Mark VIII goes first, probably end of January, and the Sebring is in storage for now, and I'll probably leave it there until April or May.

I'm getting good at the Boston/Dallas route. This will be my third time relocating to Dallas from Boston.

Excellent!:D

I took the '96 out for a spin today and noticed it had 147K on the odometer. Had a young kid at the local convenient mart remark "Hey! I like your ride, man!". :D
