The grand-daddy of all private high-mileage vehicles is Irv Gordon’s Volvo 1800S. Gordon, a schoolteacher, collected the car from the Volvoville dealership in Huntington, New York, on a Friday evening in June 1966 and took it back for its scheduled 1500-mile checkover the following Monday.
He was mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records for the first time in 1998, having covered 1.69 million miles, and hit three million in Alaska in September 2013. By the time he died in November 2018, aged 77, the total had reached 3.2 million, or 61,500 miles per year on average.<<<
