Default Re: Engine Longevity

Most folks won't drive there hobby cars daily but I suppose there are those that do. The average time before overhaul was likely between 80K and 100K miles back in the day depending on conditions. Rural areas were largely unpaved back then and hard on cars. It's all about maintenance and upkeep for the older cars. There are a lot of variables that change the outcome of longevity.
