2.7 Million miles? Too much?
Maybe some of you have seen this. I just discovered it last night.

The Porsche 928is a MUCH better designed and built car than that 1966 Volvo. Just having rust proofing is a huge advantage! The list goes on!
95% of the problems I see hear on the forums are simply due to neglected cars, and years of neglect! The other 5% are abused or A legitimate problem.
Most of our cars would go just as far and look just as good or better than that Volvo if we would catch them up on maintenance and continue to take care of them moving forward!
.....it's not the Porsche's fault, it's the owners in most cases!

They are neat cars, we have restored a couple of them.
I would like to restomod one, something like this with modern power, creature comforts, and suspension.

Wife and I had one.
In high school, late 70's.
This guy, and Volvo, have been showcasing that car since it had 1MM miles on it.
Serious coin has been spent to keep it rolling.
Very rust prone.

I always wanted to do an 1800 Estate Wagon with a small block Ford. You have to change the front springs, though - the Ford V-8 and its four-speed are 200 pounds lighter than the Volvo four cylinder and its four speed.
