Original transmission. | I have driven this car in 46 states and 5 provinces. Most of the miles are not highway miles, but state/county road miles and mountain road miles. I recently took her into the shop for a new water pump, and the techs were shocked at the great condition of the car. I will not be trading her in, as I will keep the car out of the respect I have for her, and the amazing drives she's taken me on without failure. | 2009-10-08 | | 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee | Matthew D Pierce | 222,107 | V8, 5.2L | water pump, radiator, R&L CV Axels, shocks | the key to owning and being happy with a high milage jeep is to be meticulous with your scheduled maintainance according to jeep specs.

Rebuilt as 4bbl with change of intake, heads and cam. Original 383 block removed at 441,000 miles and replaced with '70 440 block bored and stroked to 500 cubes by Soledad Performance in Lemon Grove, CA. Doug Thorley headers and flow masters make sure she's heard.
Currently on it's 3rd transmission, most recently replaced along with the 500 cid engine.
Also, at 440,000 miles, front end suspension rebuilt with new torsion bars, upgraded steering box, leaf springs, front and rear anti-roll bars, and Wilwood front disc brake conversion.
Repainted in 1986.
Interior was redone in '93 with seat covers, carpeting and headliner by Legendary Auto Interiors. | Car is 2dr hardtop, white with dark blue interior. My father bought her new in December of 1967 at Cunningham Chrysler Plymouth in El Cajon, CA. I took her in '81. She supplied daily transportation until July 2001 when I retired her from daily duty. She needed a lot of work and the personal situation with family prevented me from spending the money she needed.
That changed in 2007 when the suspension work started. Now that the drivetrain and suspension/steering/brakes have been done, she really needs a makeover. Needs the interior redone again, plus bodywork and paint. She's not her prettiest now....but she's got teeth and a roar!
My parents passed away in 2001, and "Elizabeth" is a strong emotional tie to a lot of great family memories including the Sunday drive for ice cream, and a cross country trip to Pennsylvania. I'll keep her as long as I am able to. | 2009-09-27 | | 1993 Dodge Ram (D150) | Andrew Teal | 200,021 | 5.2 V8 318 | Nothing major...an ecu and fuel pump...cheap little things hear and there.. | oil changed regularly, its in need of new rear wheel bearings...maybe new rear diff seal...ive changed some things new exhaust..ign coil sparkplugs and wires....i recently traced almost every wire on the truck only to find a small short and a bad connection to the new fuel pump...i work for toyota so i get it up on a lift when i can and inspect everything i can...change what needs changing....sounds nice and still running strong..i swear the 318 is bullet proof | 2009-09-26 | | 1999 Dodge DURANGO | Known, not shown | 223,000 | 5.2 LITER | Transmission overhaul @ 163000 | Third Durango I have owned love em' | 2009-09-24 | | 1988 Dodge Dakota std cab long bed | Jim Laing | 216,214 | 3.9 V6 auto w/overdrive | Can't say for positive, I'm the second owner. The original owner said he hadn't had any trouble with it, just used it to haul horses. After getting it home and watching the timing mark dance around, I replaced the timing chain / gear set and water pump at the 150k mile mark. Replaced the alt at 188k and front rotors at 212000. All other repairs have been tune-ups, brake pads, rear shoes and a muffler & tailpipe. | I bought it with 150k on the ODO and a Pintle hitch of all things hanging out of a rather sturdy looking hitch. Figured it had been abused but I was looking for a beater with an 8ft box. The over-drive unit whines but it's done that since I got it. At 216k+ it runs like a top and has never failed to start no matter the weather here in Michigan. The power windows and locks work fine and the sunroof doesn't leak. The AC is cold and the heat is hot. I never expected the "winter beater" to last more than a year or two, it's been more than a few winters now and it stills runs great. Hope the next Dakota is as good as this one. | 2009-09-22 | | 1998 Plymouth GRAND VOYAGER | STEVE TOMCZIK | 225,000 | 3.0L FLEX FUEL, 3 SPD WITH OD | ONE HEAD GASKET AT ABOUT 125,000MI.

Only let us down once on a holiday, when rad. fan relay went, was easy enough to fix, but we lost a day getting from the mountains, to a nearby city. Was never towed in on that holiday, vehicle actually made it to the dealer under its own steam. bought it with 85,000km on it. | 2009-09-21 | | 1992 Chrysler Imperial | Jason Holloway | 246,000 | 3.8 V6, A604 4 speed | Too many to list-new tranny at 110K, replaced cracked cylinder head at 145K, gutted out worn out rear air leveling shocks with standard shocks in fall 2008, replaced rusted out trunk lid with one from another 1992 (stripped and repainted), third fuel rail (black in color, not the leaky original silver-colored one), more. | Bought her back in 1999 as my get-me-through college car, now it's 2009 and still running strong. Great car for a do-it-yourselfer. Dark grey metallic paint, gold landau roof, red cloth interior. Love driving an old car that you really don't see much of anymore on the road! | 2009-09-21 | |
