Highest Mileage GT500?


brands5.0

Recommended Posts

I got stopped at a gas station today. The man was telling me stories about having a GT500 back in in the 70's and how he got it so cheep he drove it till it fell apart, after a long story he got around to asking me how much i drive my car and was shocked to hear that i drive it every day and that i have 44,497 miles on the od. So that got me thinking who here has enjoyed there cars as much as i have?

 

In 39 mounths i've got 44,497 anyone close or more?

I bought the car with a little over 40,000 miles, and have put almost 4,000 on it in the month and a half that i have owned it (it has right at 44,XXX). It is a daily driver and i drive about 100 miles a day to work not to mention all the miles i just take it for a cruise on my days off. Best decision i ever made going from a 2007 Mustang GT to the 07 GT500. :happy feet:

Just curious, do you have the original clutch and flywheel? I hope you say yes, no problems.

Bought my 07 in August 08 brand new, have put 17k on her since. Let's see....1 trip to Myrtle Beach, 1 trip to Panama City Beach, 2 trips to Gatlinburg (all from KY). We love to travel in it. Wife drives it to school most days....at least until we went into the deep freeze here this year. She's been sitting about a month now, longest period it hasn't been driven since we bought it.

Have owned it (since new) for 21 months and have 19,800 miles, with no slowing down in sight!

 

 

 

I've also owned since new for 21 months, but i've got you beat by 200 miles. The crazy thing is I was in Iraq and Afghanistan for 11 of those months!

Got my 07 vert in November 07 and now have 62,000 miles on it. Pullied upper and lower CAI and tune, upper ond lower control arms. I'm on my third clutch. Had the original replaced with the TSB at 25,000 miles and put in a spec stage 2 plus at 55,000 miles. Awsome clutch for the power I'm making. No chatter, hiss, smoooooth take offs and eliminated most of the drivline/clutch noise at idle.

Bought in December of 2007 (26 months ago) has 3700 miles. 140 miles per month. I need to drive it more!

That's about what I have racked up on (2) cars in the same time period. Winters here (especially this year) put a damper on driving. Had my car out last month for a bit before the snow came.
