Getting one's car to travel 200,000 miles without incident is certainly impressive, and anything above that will make even the thriftiest drivers smile. However, one man from East Patchogue, New York may have put all other motorists to shame in terms of longevity.

Irv Gordon's 1966 Volvo P1800 has traveled nearly 3 million miles throughout its 45-year lifespan, and it shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon. The key to its longevity lies in Gordon's commitment to maintenance, he says, and he even put 1,500 miles on the car within two days of purchasing it.

Gordon surpassed the 500,000 mile mark by the time the car was 10 years old, and he hopes to keep going and breaking the world record he already holds.

"Recently, my P1800 has been through some terrible weather, and never complained once," he said. "What a great automobile! Hitting 2.9 million miles is a true testament to Volvo and those who designed it."

As Gordon proves, Volvo has a long history of reliable vehicles, and New Jersey Auto Auction carries a wide variety of makes and models to suit the needs of any driver.
