Looking for 500,000-mile-plus cars

[CTJoe]

Hi, I'm new to this forum, and I am posting because I'm doing a newspaper article about cars with very high odometer readings. If you don't mind being interviewed, let me know

[cth]

I've got a 500sel with over 400k. I got it that way in the summer and am going to be keeping the motor and parting out the rest. I checked the vin and it's not the correct motor. The car runs wonderfully but looks rather seedy.

Drop me a line if you want pictures. The car has less than two weeks to live.

Track down Irv Gordon in Patchogue, NY, he has the highest mileage Volvo P 1800 in the world. Last check it was close to 2.5 million miles.

Or if you'd like to, the Greek Mercedes taxi driver that had 2.8M miles...

Too bad it's 500K+

You do know that 400,000 miles on a rotary is equal to 800,000 piston miles, right? I'm member of the Motor Press Guild, so if I can be of help shoot me a PM - and yes, that odometer was for that car.

Check out this guy, he has a 1978 with 790K miles:

Irv Gordon is my hero. Some day, my Volvo and my E320 will be in the 500kmi range. Some day.

Thats the Greek taxi driver with 4,2 M km .
Mercedes gave him a new car for the old one.
2 times he changed his engine, and 11 times rectified the engine.

That goes to show the reliabilty and strength of a Mercedes
