3 million mile Volvo

Wonder how many parts it would take to keep a TR on the road that long

its been rebuilt a few times and that car looks damn near show quality but for 3million miles that car looks new! Cool car never seen one..

Good looking Volvo. Rare on that merit alone.....

Only 2 engine rebuilds and almost 3 million miles. Not too shabby. My daily driver has about 340k and I never had the engine or trans out if it.

I couldn't drive 3 million miles in twenty lifetimes...

Thats way way too much seat time in the same car for me.....however, a tremendous endorsement for Volvo they should work that into a commercial.

That model has long disappeared from the landscape in my area.....rust wiped out most of them P1800 models...

Years ago I had a supercharged 1963 544 Volvo the ones that looked like a 1947-48 Ford.....Volvo built some great cars.

Our cars the interior would be thread bare before it saw 250,000 miles...

Realisticlally you would have to have several skid loads of powermasters to keep our cars ability to stop during the course of 3 million miles...in other words a parts inventory at least ten times what Richard Clark has to even come close to obtaining that goal.

On the other side of the coin Steve Jobs when he was alive to avoid buying a tag for his Mercedes simply got a new identical model every month......from what I read....
