Re: Who's 3rd gen has the least miles and who has the most?
I know a guy that used to sell 3rd gen parts locally. He collected all the GM turbo cars, and has a TTA with 47 miles.
I doubt he gets on here.

Damn, I would kill for that '85. I just bought a Formula with 18,000 but it's up to 20,000 already. My Camaro's got 46,000 I believe.

I saw a C 4 C car...a 91-92 RS camro, lg4/lo3?, intact, brand new tires NO rust.
342,000 miles
I got the areo chin off it, then the next day the whole nose. $25 total.

Re: Who's 3rd gen has the least miles and who has the most?
My 87 had 248K when I scrapped it...
The 88 has either 97 or 197K (stupid 5-digit odometer, if that was even the cluster the car came from the factory with
).
I think LeonardS is probably the guy on here with the lowest miles. It's kind of mandatory for him to keep it in a garage and not drive it except to the occasional show. He DOES have the LAST 3rd gen produced...

Re: Who's 3rd gen has the least miles and who has the most?
We've lost track of the 5 mile '85 IROC-Z. It was sold by the owner a couple years back. So, with that, we can't say that the '85 is the lowest mile car on these boards as the new owner is not a member (that we know of).
If no current member speaks up with less, LeonardS may have the lowest miles at 125 on the last 1992 Camaro produced.

Do you consider 80k mile car a high or low mileage car?

Re: Who's 3rd gen has the least miles and who has the most?
I don't understand why so many are posting their "high miles" when a prior post is advertising higher mileage than their car has. It will make it hard to determine the highest miles if you have to sift through hundreds of posts.

Or OP could just put the highest and lowest in the original post and then update it as higher or lower mile cars pour in.

Not sure if this counts because it wasn't a board member but a customer came into my work with an '87 LG4 firebird.
Yes that says 417k

Re: Who's 3rd gen has the least miles and who has the most?
Does anyone have the magazine (I believe it was HOT ROD) that featured the bone stock, almost mint '84 Trans Am with over 300k on it? Saw it on the news stand a couple years back and wanted to buy it but I didn't have any cash on me and I forgot. 
A coworker of mine claims to have over 400k on his old 305 RS Camaro with the OG 305 and 700r4. Apparently it's sitting at his parents' house a few towns over so I've never seen it but he's usually pretty honest so I don't have much doubt.

I gave my brother my 89 comaro because it had 391,621 miles on it. I thought it was about done. Seven years later he is still driving it and it is still going. Yes it is still all original with no rebuild.

Re: Who's 3rd gen has the least miles and who has the most?
I've got 47,500 on my 1988 Trams Am. Put 12,000 miles on it the first summer I had it, but slowed down a lot after that. There have been a few times were it sat in storage for several years at a time without getting it out at all.
I didn't originally plan to keep it forever and maintain low miles, but I'm glad it's worked out that way.
I hope to get it out again for this summer season in May.
