I had a 1974 RX-2 (Mazda) that went over 160,000 with no work other than
tune-ups and lube&oils - but then it died.....  i got $100 trade-in when
it went under.  Oh, it did get 1 brake job and 2 clutch jobs in that time.
It died in 1980 - young, but having gone a great distance in it's short
lifetime.  It was new April 1975.  

This is a tribute to Carmy.  May she rest in pieces.
