My '68 had 49K showing when I bought it, but from various wear spots on the vehicle (seat, pedal pads, etc.) I'm sure that's 149K. I've put close to 10K more miles on it in the year+ that I've owned it and it's been one of the most reliable vehicles I've ever had. Engine is the original 360 (for now) and when I pulled off the intake to install an Edelbrock I found it still had the factory Ford gaskets so I would guess it's never been apart.

61,000 original on my '72.
I've seen the odometer roll around 5 times on my '63 since I bought it in 1984.

Not totally sure of my mileage cuz I'm not sure how many time's she's rolled over, plus I don't think my odometer is totally accurate(it looks like occasionally the 10's spot goes up before 1's number reaches 9, and i think it does it a bit further up too...anyone know how to fix that?)...but I think I have about 240,000....not sure how many times it's rolled over....at least twice, maybe 3 so maybe 340,000 but i doubt that....and as far as I can tell almost everything on it is original, i kno the engine is, just replaced lifters and added some chrome 'engine dress-up' parts to it and soon to put a new cam in her. Speakin of the engine....kinda.....anyone know where I could find a new fan shroud....one I used to have on her had a bunch of huge chunks outta it
