My 86 TC was my daily driver for 10 years, until just a few weeks ago. I made the hard decision to take it off the road to do the work I've been planning but didn't want to do to a car I rely on for Monday.

It has 200K - original long block, trans, clutch, rear end and rear suspension.

Second T3, third starter, third water pump, fourth radiator, etc ... (hey, nothing lasts forever).

'88, 2nd owner, car is all original with 179,XXX miles. All maintenance records were kept and there was no indication that the engine was ever cracked open. BTW, I still have the little folder with the owners' manual, all the warranties (including tire), and the warranty card. I even have the demo cassette for the premium sound system. Alas, the stereo was replaced.
