290,000 miles on mine and hardly drove her the past four years. Still the original bottom end. 227,000 miles on the cam, heads and turbo. She needs new rubber body mounts and a paint job to look good. Dozens of parking lot door rings and getting keyed. The original lacquer factor paint was terrible form day one. Only rust through was the "A" pillars. Never thought of oiling in there. The turbo is an old Cheetah H-3 with a .83 housing. The trans shop was supposed to install a 2800 rpm stall torque but it barely makes 2000. She's a bit slow off the line until the 1/2 way through 1st gear then hang on. Running her on 60 wt Amsoil. She's going to have to have $15,000-20,000 spent on her to be top notch 100% everything. She's in the mid 12's. Don't want to push her too hard now. Ordered it over the phone on Jan 3rd and was built 3rd week of July.

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
