+GBOTS Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 (edited) I have a coin contest, that I've wanted to try for sometime now... Richard (GBOTS) drives a 1984 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck. Red and gray in color.... The contest is to guess how many *actual* miles it has on it's odometer (by actual miles, I mean total miles on the original engine, engine has never been replaced) One guess per day. please Closest guess to actual miles wins after the contest closes on December 31st. (unless someone gets it correct before then, by correct I mean the exact miles ) Edited December 25, 2007 by GBOTS Quote Link to comment

+Arrow One Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 196,891 Wow! Someone has an older geo-vehicle than me! I have a 89 Ford F-150, just turned 181,000. We joke about it running on "fossil fuels"! (yeah I know, duh!!) Quote Link to comment
+jangor Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 187,419 with the bulk of those being caching miles. Merry Christmas Quote Link to comment
+Marpomem Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 My 1995 F150 has almost 200K on it, so I will guess 384.578 Don't think it really has this many, but you never know. My truck actually has run about 50K more miles than this. The guy I bought it from told me the odometer was broken for almost 2 years or so. Go figure. Do you think if we drove these old vehicles backwards that the mileage would go down and they would last longer? Quote Link to comment
+GPX Navigators Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Is the mileage count what he had on it today? 172.639 Quote Link to comment

+BRoKeN W Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Just for the fun of it I am going to say there is 38,427 miles on the engine since you had to have the engine rebuilt a while ago. Quote Link to comment
