What is the highest mileage Top Flight Car?

[Josh B.]

Curiosity got the best of me and I was wondering what’s the highest mileage car to get a Top Flight award so far?

[Don H.]

That would be a hard question to answer since mileage is not recorded.

That’s true, but people could comment with mileage on their car when they got their Top Flight. Like I got my Top Flight award this past April with 129,030 miles on the car.

My 57 250 powerglide Duntov vet had 252000 miles on it when I bought it in 1970 for 450 frogskins. Our old 61 rpo fi had 230000 miles on it when I bought it. It too suctioned after I restored it. Mike

I bought a '67 coupe from the original owner in 2010. I have driven it to over 50 events. If memory serves me right, it has 4 Top Flights, 2 second and 47 or 48 Sportsman awards. Trying to get to 50 this year. It is pushing 260,000 documented miles. The car and all of the NCRS events have been a GREAT adventure for the last 12 years. In 2017 it was considered a Bowtie Candidate.
The coolest is I drove it across to Palms Spring where with the mileage points got Top Flight. (Had it trailered back home)
When I drove it to Vegas a few years ago, there was a video produced at the Nationals. (Google 243,000 Corvette)
Thank you, Rich and the SE Chapter, for all of your support.

I can't top the miles on Mike's car, but I had a '67 at the Nationals in 2017 with 175,000 miles. It was an original paint Survivor car, also.

James car is always a treat to see at NCRS events.
