Highest mileage vehicle you've owned?

2005 Toyota Corolla LE (LeMans edition). It had 180 or 190K on the ticker when I sold it to a forum member on the condition that I be able to borrow it for the WWDC. Probably the most reliable car I've owned. I would have kept it had a family member not given me their old daily driver when leasing a new Buick.
 
'85 Tempo 2dr w/ 5spd, lasted to ~235k miles before meeting a telephone pole
'90 Probe V6 w/ 5spd ~220k
'85 XJ Cherokee 4cyl 5spd ~212k
'02 Focus ZX3, I bought new with 4 miles, and sold it 10 years later with 199,7xx miles.

Of the four, the XJ was the only one that received new motor. All the others made it on stock internals.
 
I bought a 94 k1500 that had ~597k on the odometer. Engine was changed at one point, originally was a 350 truck but someone put a 305 in it. Frame was broke in the rear (had a big salter in the bed at one point). Bought it to do a demo derby in the back of our shop with a 91 k1500 we cobbled up (37X12.5s with just a bar crank and some “minor” trimming of the fenders).

The video is still somewhere on YouTube. Definitely in my top 10 most fun things I’ve ever done.
