I've changed plugs, a couple of water pumps and thermostats, 2 heater cores, 2 radiators, but that's it. It's still the original Alternator and AC compressor, which still works fine! And I haven't coddled this thing, I use Mobil 1, changed when I feel like it, usually 8-10k miles, or when it gets down a quart.
I used about 15000 gallons of gas in that time at about 20mpg, that's an average of about 79 miles each and every day!

I have to say: Big Deal. My '82 Landcruiser odometer stopped at 181,000 miles way back in the nineties. It's my daily driver still. I figured it must have about 600,000 miles on it by now. Still the first engine and first transmission. Even some light bulbs are still original! And it runs, and runs, and runs.
