From the thread that I made earlier, I noticed a lot of people commenting on the high mileage of my car. And I also had this idea from the highest HP thread made. But what is the highest mileage cobra on here or that you know of?

lol, 300k is alot. i wonder how the timing chain tensioner's have held up that long.
I wonder how the entire thing has held up this long lol. But looking at my other thread got me thinking about how many high mileage cobras are out there.
distributor was the most expensive repair so far... *knock on wood*. everything else has been basic; ie, alternator, belt, and so on. It's been a shit load of small things that have been going out. but the fact that it is a high 12 second car still tickles my pickle. lol
Isn't there a member on this forum who has an 03 cobra with over 260k on it?
Not surprised, especially when talking modulars. Another member on my Mark VIII site, hit 404k miles on his stock engine. Only reason it didn't go further, the oil plan developed a hole and dumped oil down the highway. That was a 4.6 DOHC....97 IIRC
Edit: Forgot to mention he hit the track on a regular basis, for years.

Ah check out op's sig in this thread from 6 months ago! Wonder if it is still on the stock shortblock?

Me too!
Especially since 94 and 95 Cobras are push rod 5.0s with no tensioner at all!:-D
A double roller timing chain will go a long time though, they do not stretch as bad as the silent chains do.
Before the 4.6 engines, Police, Taxi and Limos were rocking those little 5.0 engines to some truly crazy miles.
double crap, i had the sigs off. i thought it was a mod motor. my bad. i can see a 302 going that long.
that's pretty good to see that many miles. My only down fall is since my odometer stopped working there is no way of telling for sure. but 12k miles a year by 11 years is roughly 312k.
The 4.6 2v modulars go even longer. Take a look at Taxi cabs in NYC.
ive seen a 5.4 in a fx4 at 330k, it had its chains replaced. i know it was abused, mud and lack of oil changes. as far as 4v motor's im not so sure.
The company I work for keeps our Town Cars until riiiiiiiight before 300K, then they sell 'em off.....
i may make the high mileage club when i'm 60 lol
I better get driving! I'm 58 and I only have 25K on my 04.:nonono::dw:
Time's running out!
Was about to post this.
The rest of the car will turn to a rotting pile before most 2v modulars will.
Yep last I saw of his avatar he was over 265,000. I think he's had a valve job and he might have just rebuilt the Eaton but I think that's about it.
We had a F-350 at my old job with a V-10 that had 275K on the odometer. It was ran hard.
