XJ 4.0 original engine, tranny, transfer case 247,929 last month

 

MJ original engine, used tranny t/c swapped in 189,000 or so...but the odometer did not work for two years.

 

 

Side note:  My 64 Mercedes had 365,000 on it when I sold it in 1990.  Highest mileage I've ever had on any vehicle...original engine and all.

I had  '51 MB. 4 cyl, 4spd. Turned 300K when the wife wrecked it. Ran as good as the day it left the factory. Pulled the engine and hooked it up to a welder. Ran for another 5 years when I sold the welder.

Mine has 82,XXX miles on it currently, but that doesn't count for the 2.5L that's in it.  That was swapped by the first owner from a YJ.  He didn't think to take down the mileage on that engine and now I'm paying for it...  But my truck is straight as an arrow and 99% rust free.  Woot!

0/x mpg driving it home on the tow truck.  It was great since I didn't pay for the gas.

 

 

had ~360 on my 16V GTi when I rebuilt the original engine and put in a long gear trans.  32MPG  city milage on an '88 model car.  That effin' Motronic took forever to tune in.

 

CL here typically list 200k-250k from the same period.

I would like to see who has the lowest odometer reading (legit)

With the RWD Corolla being my primary love I have come across this story many times.... but I think this will fit your bill on the lowest odometer reading. H3RESQ.
