Check out how many miles it has on it. Holy crap. So much for the 3.8 being a turd.

I've always heard the 3.8 was a good engine. |

I have a friend with a 3.8 Bonneville that has 200,00+ on it and still going strong ... I thought he was crazy when he bought it with that kind of mileage.

My ‘98 Lumina LTZ with the 3.8 was one of my favorite daily drivers ever. It had well over 200k on it when I blew a gasket on it and decided to just scrap it as I didn’t feel like wrenching on it in January! Otherwise I’m sure it would still be going

N/A 3800's routinely would last over 250,000 miles. but by then the rest of the car was usually shot. And the transaxle they were bolted to had been rebuilt at least once. The supercharged versions were good engines also, just not as long lived.

Looks like he paid about $10,000 for the photos and the retouching.

The 4.3s are good engines, also. Routinely go well over 200K with no issues.

You know..
I've bought a couple vehicles with that kind of mileage and discovered if they were taken care of, they turned out to be pretty good cars because when they have that kind of miles on them stuff just HAD to be repaired and replaced if you wanted to keep going down the road. My 1995 Jeep GC has 250,000 miles on it , I fixed a few minor leaks and it burns no oil and the trans shifts great. The X-fer case was replaced by a prior owner thanks to a rock. lol

well, y'all can quibble over terms (and I agree with survivor misuse a bit) but cars in that condition are almost impossible to find. I'd buy it and not care what it was called. Good condition original interiors, trunks, etc are amazing finds. Many survivors I see hyped are often rebuilder wore out project cars.
