I remember seeing this article about a year ago, about a 70 something camero with 1 or 2 million miles. It was the original owner and engine, but I think the tranny was replaced, not sure saw it a long time ago. I thought it was a super rare thing, but I guess there's a few people out there. That's pretty crazy how and engine can last so long and not need a rebuild.

There was also a Volvo P1800 out there somewhere with a couple million miles...

My wife & I put 220k miles on our 89 Saab 900 & still saw it around town after we sold it.

I had 197k on a 72 Datsun when I sold it, but I wasnt the original owner.

About 145k on a 86 Jetta GLi that I bought new.
About 130k on a 95 GSR that I bought new.

Ive had some high mileage cars, but nowhere close to 1 million.

Anything you through money at will last a long time, you just need to know when to move on.

Well these cars are on their original engine so it takes a bit more than just money to keep it running, like driving right lol.

Even a motor can be freshened up. Im not saying they did but that truck must have some maitnance history.

Yeah, those maintenance records must be the size of several books.
