Haha! Good point, that ride has a lot of re-usable mods... I'll tell ya what, I'll cut ya a great deal. For being so helpful, I'll drive the to your location and pick up that high mileage mess for final "disposal" free of charge for ya!!
Hehehe!

Sorry, I can't help myself. You know I'm anxious to get my Monte to a modded point similar to yours.

Given the high miles, it's expected that at some point it will pop up and say "hey, I need attention". Heck, even my Monte (currently sitting at 62K) popped up a couple minor issues (CEL came on with a code "not getting to operating temp fast enough" or something like that, changed the T-stat no more problem and the famous rotted out resinator).

Well I rebuilt most of the top end when I put in my HV3 and rockers.

So hopefully a lot of issues don't pop up soon lol

I've also personally been with the car since it was built, so I know every mile that went on the car, and the care it received its whole life.

yeah, that will probably extend the life because you probably havnt burned the tires very often. but it is good for a car to be driven hard every once in awhile, its when you take a car that has been driven very easy for a long time and drive it hard where you get in trouble...
