Default What is the record for highest mileage car?

We hear of Toyota’s going 300,000k+… Is there some kind of world record for a normal stock car’s max miles?

Try this
http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/high_mileage.htm
listing for Volvo high milers. But to be honest I have my doubts about the #02 on that list
Magic Irv and his famous red P1800

my dad had an old pontiac bonneville (it was an '88 i believe) that was shit brown. we called it the log. he had that thing at somewhere around 330,000 miles when it was trashed. nowhere near a record, but impressive for an 80's Gm product nonetheless
