We’ve prob all seen the articles and reports… > **[NY Volvo owner closing in on 3 million miles in P1800S \[w/video\]](https://www.autoblog.com/2012/07/09/ny-volvo-owner-closing-in-on-3-million-miles-in-p1800s-w-video/)** > > If you've been following these pages for a while, you may remember Irv Gordon and his 1966 Volvo P1800. The duo have found their way onto these pages twice before: first back in 2007 when the machine cruised past 2.6 million miles and then again in... I was really impressed, the car looks great but then upon further reading the motor has been rebuilt twice… In your opinion, does it count or hold as much value knowing this? ---

Doesn’t change it for me. If he pulled the engine out and put that in a 200,000 mile P1800 and said the 200K car was the 3M miler, then yeah, problem. Hell, the engine’s only been rebuilt, not replaced, so if anything it’s even _more_ legit. ---

Still the same engine just a rebuild. 1 rebuild every million miles for a gasoline engine is pretty amazing. ---
