    Anybody care to hazzard a guess as to the highest mileage Dino still running out there. I bet Corbani's is in the running. I wouldn't be surprised if John has the most individual mileage by one owner on a single vehicle. Just saw a different thread in which he states 136,000 out of 187,000 miles are his.

    Most Dino mileage I've ever seen, or heard of is John's.

    A testimony to his patience, and mechanical skill.

    Mine has just about 60K miles on it, of which about 8000 are mine, give or take, so I'm certainly not anywhere near in the contest.

    Perhaps CARBON MC COY, KEEPER OF ALL THINGS FERRARI at FML could help with this question.

    PAGING CARBON McCOY!!!

    Velly beautiful, what do you have around the headlamp covers? Was thinking about doing something like that, but was not sure how. Can you show more pics and explain? Thanks

    Or is just the way the light plays on the plexiglass?

    I wish...! I'm just lucky enough to peruse the info...

    Okay, there's a Dino 308 GT4 coming up for sale with 115,000 miles.

    Back in 1996, Randy Simon (Beverly Hills, CA) advertised 00630, a 246 GT, with 110,000 km. I don't know what that translates to in miles though...

    Back in 1982, JRK International Ltd. (Charlotte, NC) advertised a white-with-blue 308 GT4 with 110,000 km...

    Perhaps the most interesting of the Dinos I found with high mileage - and I didn't do an extensive search, rather I just plucked a few - is this one... Back in September, 1985, a black/black 308 GT4 was advertised in the NY Times with 16,000 miles. Six years later, Sport Tune Motors of Long Island, NY, advertised the same car in the Ferrari Market Letter and included the following: "...Red with black leather. Runs and drives. Over 100,000 miles, some rust, good compression and good oil pressure."

    I wonder how many miles these cars have today...

    It's just how the light hits the edge of the plexiglass. The edge is not polished.

    110,000 km = 68,351 miles.

    Here's a neat trick. You can type the following into Google:

    110000km to miles

    and it will give you the answer. Google can do most math and conversion (including currency) the same way.
