1991 Pontiac Bonneville LE, 3800 V6 _~_~_~_~276,660 miles_~_~_ ~_~_
1993 Pontiac 3.8L supercharged, with 303,000 Km same engine and transmission. Still running strong and same supercharge unit which is a bless as someone has told me it has a limited life expectancy to around
150,000 km.
Looks like you take first place for now Harry, unless some one else chimes in. What's 321,000KM equivalent to 199,000 miles or so.

1991 Pontiac Bonneville LE, 3800 V6 _~_~_~_~276,660 miles_~_~_ ~_~_175,000 94 Pontiac GrandPrix- Tranny went boom and cudda been fixed. Parked.
Alternator # 3 (apparently GM has changed their alternator design late
1993). Replaced throttle position sensor at 265,000 km; brake master cylinder leaked at 280,000 km and purged to replace brake fluid. Battery 3 times; ABS hub sensor (front) once; engine oil pressure sensor once 1 and general maintenance include transmission oil change every 40,000 - 50,000 km and engine oil change 4 times per years (using Mobile 1 oil). AC (R132) stop working two years ago. Today, gas tank is leaking when filled up, so that needs to be replaced as soon as my tank goes empty. Everything else is in great shape. Hope to match Harry's mileage without major engine repair or last two more years.Paul
1994 TransSport 3.8 blew engine at 275,000Km due to hamfisted mechanic breaking off bypass hose fitting under alternator and original owner not catching it. Trans finally let go at 300,000. Rebuilt engine and trans, ready for another 300,000km.
That's all? I could have walked that far by now :).
Mine's a 92 Bonneville SE. Odometer stopped a couple of months ago at 168,000 miles (too lazy to install the replacement odometer I've had since about 2 weeks after it went out).
1997 3.1 liter Grand Am SE 168000 miles
Harry may have more miles but I've got a great combination of years and miles on a daily driver. I'm running my 1971 LeMans Sport with 455 up and down the German Autobahn (military member) daily. I've got over 220,000 miles on the body. (third engine, second trans) but the car still looks great and gets an increadible amount of attention over here. When was the last time you had a high end Porche or Ferrari slow down to check out your car and give you a tumbs up?
i have a 1990 transport 3.1l.with 417000 km.still work good without rattle.

Cool car!
Please specify in miles not Km. Thank you
He said he in only interested in those with original engine and trans, yours dosnt count...next.
1992 Grand Am SE coupe 3.3L ~ 236,000 miles.
1998 GP GT
139,000 KMS (Popeye get with the program, the rest of the WORLD uses KMS)
2nd alternator Everyth>Please specify in miles not Km.
I just put an alternator on my neighbor's 1998 V-6 Grand Prix. It has
288,500 miles on it, and he has only had the brakes done (twice), an electric window repaired, a cracked windshield replaced, and the alternator changed. It doesn't burn ANY oil and still runs and looks GREAT! The alternator wasn't even bad, just really noisy. What a great little car!
