Default ONE MILLION MILE CHEVY ENGINE


Wis. man goes online to sell million-mile Chevy
Minimum bid is $30,000 for what owner calls his 'old girl'

CATAWBA, Wis. - The owner of a 1991 Chevrolet Silverado that's traveled more than a million miles is parting with what he calls his "old girl."
Frank Oresnik says his pickup will go on sale Thursday night on eBay. The minimum bid is $30,000.
The 58-year-old northern Wisconsin man attracted attention in February when he reached the million-mile mark while doing a live interview on public radio.

He says that the truck has had four radiators, three gas tanks and five transmissions but that the engine is original.
He racked up much of the mileage delivering seafood from a Chicago supplier to Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan.
Oresnik says he hopes the buyer will display the truck.



GO CHEVY AND THEIR LONG LASTING ENGINES!

Some people will do anything for attention.

Nice to see he's got that much enjoyment out of his CHEVY truck. To me, it's way too many miles for the age of the truck but it ain't my truck now is it?

I wish him good luck with selling it on ebay. Maybe he'll get a million dollars for the truck?

My 'ole Suburban has 300k on it, I wonder If I could get $10,000 out of it??!!!
OK, $5,000?
Maybe $1500?
Do I here $750?
30k for a million mile vehicle, and here I though they depreciated with mileage.
Thats great that he got that much use out of it though, impressive eaven.

GM used to buy back vehicles that made it to a million miles on the original engine. Anyone know if they still do that?
