Hard to believe that any vehicle made from 1990 on up still had a 3 speed non overdrive transmission in it. Probably because Chrysler never made a decent automatic transmission that had an overdrive...

The engines, yes. Modern automatic transmissions...not so much.

Those 3 speeds autos from the big 3 held up to some pretty good abuse and most were never properly serviced or even serviced at all....

Back in those days and even into the 90's, the viscosity index improvers in 10-40 sheared and caused sludge issues. That's not the case today with better oil technology.

Roller rockers/lifters?

He's lucky to still be alive considering his immense drug abuse, which continued on into the 90's and led to paranoia early on in his career.

Don't do drugs, kids.

60K is low mileage, they generally are not problematic until surpassing 100K miles. Even much cheaper, crappier vehicles will easily last longer than that these days.
