234,671 miles on the original engine, transmission AND all the original heater and radiator hoses. (Any bonus points for that?)

Looking for 300,000 but it is showing signs of old age - the steering wheel is wrinkled! Perhaps some botox injections.......

 

You definately get points for having the original transmission! I believe that our heater and hoses are original too. Did I mention, it's still got it's original exaust too!

Original rad., hoses, and exhaust (although there is a nice hole in the exhaust at the resonator that gives the Aerostar a tougher sound!)

Hi wendy and welcome to the forum
I think you'd better get out and do some more driving if you're going to catch up with the others here

 

My '90 XLT 3.0 has 143,000. Original engine, 2nd tranny since we've owned it. Had to replace head gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, intake plenum gasket, timing cover gasket, oil pan gasket, water pump, alternator, both idle pullies, fan and clutch, all radiator hoses under the hood. Original exhaust but it is cut off after the O2 sensor. Going to put a cheap muffler on it this weekend until I can afford to fabricate an exhaust.
