Funny thing is, it has 16 bids so far!

I'm sure the person selling the car just entered that number for no reason, and I am 110 percent sure that car does not have 10 million miles. 1 million for a car of that vintage is really pushing it, but 10 million? Nah, wouldn't happen.

Simple math shows the car would've had to be driven 850 miles DAILY - since new to this day - with no down time for repair. Even the big rigs have a hard time meeting this bogey.

They probably entered that because the mileage is unknown.

The wheel wells must have had new sheet metal welded in them a few times. All the stuff sprayed at them over the years on the road would have weakened the metal considerably.

I don't think its possible even for the most well-built car ever to travel 10 million miles without at least a major structural rebuild to combat metal fatigue and corrosion/erosion.

Agree with the others. The most mileage I have ever seen on any vehicle was 4,000,000 on a 1968 Kenworth truck. It was on its fifth engine.
