188,305 miles and I still love this thing.
Sure some of the interior is in need of replacement, the targa, headlight buckets, rockers need repainting, it has a collapsed lifter, and a dying fuel pump... but its still damn fun. 
It turns 20 years old this October.

Having only had "my" vette for about a month now , I only hope I will feel as positive as you a few years down the road. All signs so far sure look positve though!

mine is an 86 as well, but only has 85,000 miles on it. I hope mine looks half as good as yours when it gets 188,000 miles on it. Yours, looks great!
Great job!
Great job!

Thats great Scorp. 
Car looks really good too. It's truely unbelieveable how good these motors are! The interior is another story.
I've had mine since 1998.
146K
It's a love-hate relationship. It has so many things wrong with it and so many things right.
My wife is always like this
but I sweetly remind her "I've had this car longer than I had you. You knew what you were getting into when you signed up with me"
