high mileage

[rpw1959]

I am wondering two things, What is the highest mileage you have seen on a stock 600 ( no engine work ) and a 600 (no limit on engine work,body work, and number of paint jobs). My 71 AN600 has 64000 miles on it and I know its been worked on. They did not install third over pistons and rings at the factory!
A while back I saw a website for high mileage Hondas and it was mostly Accords that were boasting 250 to 320 thousand miles on their cars.
All had engine work and sported two or three paint jobs. These weren't the early accords with the strut tower problems. They were 3 to 4 years after that. Most people know that Honda was known for their engines and that the bodies gave out before the engines did.
Who knows the highest mileage?

Hello rpw1959, �� Go to thisoldhonda.org,go to main page and click on high millage stories first and check out the many stories of impressive amounts of millage these cars are capable of, and do this FIRST. Then, for the cherry on top, click on collectors and scroll about 3/4 of the way down to ps99tzer@... . It is a orange 1975 Civic. Now THATS impressive.

[Miles]

In 1985 when I had my shop at Reid Hillview airport, Honda Hangar, A woman brought in a Honda 600 sedan. She said it was all original engine and never had been apart. She said she changed the oil every 1000 miles. She lived in Santa Cruz and had decals & stickers all over the trunklid, it was a burgandy colored car as I recall.
She had 118,000 miles on it.
