My 99 has 90k miles. I've put 50k of those on it in the past two and a half years. 
My mechanic had a teal 1994 Z28 with 423,000 miles on it. Said he bought it for $300 with a bad trans and a leaking water pump with 300k on the clock. Ugly teal paint is still shiny, interior is clean. Said its still on the orginal motor, and runs real strong, doesn't use oil. Only other things he's done was replace the opti and totally rebuilt the suspension, said it handles better than my car.
EDIT: My friend's 1990 Pathfinder has 526k miles on it. Still a nice looking, clean, good running truck

best friends papaw in 7th grade had a black ranger/f100/f150 whatever truck...dont even remember much about it now but it was a 5 speed, 2door, old work truck that they drove everyday. 999,999 miles on it, and it clicked back over to 0 and started up again. Didnt know they even did that, but oh well.

something I find funny...my T/A has a little over 117k on it...and it's comin up on it's 27th birthday! Still got the good ol 301 lol...after I bought it, I found (once I figured out how to open the trunk that is...lol) a bunch of gasket boxes and stuff so it may have been rebuilt. Who know's, who cares? Gettin around to drop in a 455 so...I may have one badass lawn mower for sale...
