About to put at Vortech on at 110,000 miles. No issues at all with the motor, a lot of problems with everything else. Especially the transmission.

Ya but your tranny issues are more operator error than anything else :P lol I havent had any issues with mine at all.

124,500 and still purrs like a kitten...but it is an Auto so probably hasn't had the hard use many 5spds have!
I only drive it once or twice a week and an occasional trip to the track,still strong mid 13's!

Just turned over 189,500...........total for both of them. I think the rear shocks are done in both I seem to be hitting bumps pretty hard lately. Otherwise they're still running ok.

Just bought mine with a little over 95,500, bone stock. Runs just as good as a friend of mine with 39k on his Mach. Just did the basic maintenance stuff, not that it needed it, and it runs like a champ.

Not quite 16k. I swear I'm trying to drive it more. It used to see some track time but now she sits a lot. Typically use now - I grab my son in and we cruise to the parts store for stuff for his 88 GT or to the drive-through for chocolate shake. Good times.

148,389 here. No major issue. Starter, hub, and clutch (actually was just the throw out bearing) only things that was replaced. I'm not easy on the car by no means. I love this car.

150K and still going strong. Automatic transmission overhaul at 130K but just routine maintenance other than that. JTL CAI and Magnaflow catbacks.

It's always nice to see these cars driven and enjoyed. Most of them still look almost like new too. I say drive them and enjoy them. Let the next guy worry around a restoration. ;)

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
 
I'm around the 80k mark. Ill be sure to post a picture when it gets to 80085.:yeh: I bought it 4 years ago with 46k. How can a person roll it out of a garage wipe it with a cloth and roll it back in the garage. In my opinion thats no fun at all. Except for the time when the fuel pump crapped out on the highway going 70 every mile has been great.

Re: Highest Mileage Mach 1
 
getting closer to 7000 original miles.
So glad to see that they last as long as they do.
Also have had this conversation with many car guys when I was looking for a mach or cobra.
The more I drive it the better,,, after it got driven 40 miles a year till I bought it in June.
I am thankfull that the original owner saved it for me.still smells new!
Going to drive it and enjoy while I am here.
It may be the last car i buy do to the fact i cant stand the new junk with NO throttle cable!

My first one I bought in August 2003. Still a daily driver but has a very tired 200,393 mile 4.6L with auto trans. Car still looks terrific and I'm getting ready to put a new motor in it. Its all original too with the exception of some exterior add on's: Visus Louvers, smoked tails, aluminum fuel door, honeycomb rear panels and Sequential tail lights. Everything still works! My other one is also a 2003, highly modified, MINT, has less than 61K miles and has a manual trans, (T56/Whippled) garage kept/covered.

Any of you guys have any tick issues.
these heads are prone to problems just curious.
Was told the tick is annoying but won't make the engine blow by any means

Am I allowed to revive an old thread?

125k miles on my 04' 5 speed. Had to replace the clutch (TOB) last week, but runs great! The suspension is worn out, but some new springs and shocks/struts should fix that. I hope fixing the suspension helps the interior squeaks and rattles, oyyyyy vey!
