Actually my 84 Ford Bronco 2 4x4 had rolled over once and was half way there again when it finally quit on me about 3 yrs ago....It was a family vehicle anyways my dad bought it brand new off the floor and passed it down to me when I hit 16 and he had the tranny rebuilt in it before he gave it to me then when I turned 22 it just died and never recovered...:cry:

Any vehicle can last as long as you like it too with the original motor in it as long as you keep up the mainteance and possibly rebuilt or change out the tranny ...

My old '80 RX-7 read 25k... it rolled over at least once, but who's to know with those 99k mile odometers. Considering the condition of the body, it could have rolled over twice.

Yeah i believe it too.. but if the whole car done this milage, so did suspension, bushs etc... so youd prob want to change a lot more than the motor!!

Good look all the same!!

If you put in a b-16, be prepared to drop at least 2 grand and then some. That is doing it yourself. Paying somebody would be well over 3 grand, i'm sure. Then, look at what you've got for 200 bucks now with a good motor. At least 3 grand and then some. Would you be satisfied with that much money in it. That is considering, i'm sure it needs another 3 grand in other work, like wheel bearings, brakes, body work, etc. Now a days, you can have an awsome used car for around 6 grand, maybe less. That is, if you buy from private partys and not car lots trying to make their extra buck. That's one reason mine still has the stock si motor. I figure it would be dumb to remove a perfectly good running motor and then spend that much for something 3 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile. But anyway, i'm even still thinking about it. I've just not been convinced yet.

I heard that if you roll back over to 0 on a car with a 6 digit odometer you get a new car of that make for free. :rick:

its possible.. if u did the math, lets say the crx is like an 89 or something. take 900k/16 yrs and u get like 56k per yr... thats bout 160 miles per day wich some people do drive that much to go to work or something... buy that car and part it out.. u might make more than 200 from the parts. most of the stuff in there is pretty worn out probally the chassis is pretty weak.. and might not be safe?
