My best daily driver was a 77 Olds Cutlass Supreme Brougham. Drove it for 20 years. Never had the transmission open. Never touched the carburetor. Other than normal maintenance items, the only part on the engine that was replaced was the water pump.
Sold it when I retired, It had 250,000 miles on it. The A/C had never been charged and still worked great

Still have the original untouched lower end in my engine (Olds 350/4V) Had to replace some gaskets over the years but all the mechanicals are still intact. Run Marvel mystery oil in it. Had Transmission rebuilt once and a Trans go kit installed. Installed new bearing in rear end once, but original gears are still in there. Has 483,000 on it and still doesn't smoke, and has enough power to still break the tires loose for a little bit. Not an isolated event either. My brother had a car just like this some years ago and had about 275,000 on it when he sold it, and it still ran well.(Same engine- Olds 350).

MY last true great OLD dd was a 71 GT37 350 bench 4 speed...some black dude put an endura clip on it before i got it..it was soooo ruff...but it got 25 mpg, and i never had to work on it the whole time i had it..never..nothing....it was voodoo green( i think, cant remember was about 97) with a white interior...hate to say, i wish i had it back...it was ubelievibly peppy...i would torture it and race anything that blipped its throttle at me...

never failer to start..had 250,xxx (we guessed, it may have been 450 who knows) miles on it when i sold it and still had the original motor and trans as well as the 3.23 one legger..would puff jsut a little bit of smoke on start up and thats it..was a great car...
