<VV> high mileage CORVAIR?

[Mike Stillwell]

 So what's the Corvair record? I know of a '65 Monza
that was in the 700K's in the early 90's. It was a
110/PG maintained by a pilot, to excruciating detail.
To make it more amazing, it still had the original
engine, rebuilt at either 350K or 400K. I wish I had a
little more evidence to back the claim. Bill Elliott
may remember the car, it was from the DC area.
 Does anyone know of a higher mileage car?
