I had a white GSLSE that had 284,xxx on the original motor when I sold it. It then changed hands again a year or so later. I don't know the mileage at that point but I know the individual who bought it worked at Classic Motorsports magazine and that he supposedly did the rust repair it needed to make it to 400K. I'd love to know where and how that thing is now.

My 12A has ~130K on it and it still runs great. Same as when I bought it in 1983. I bet it has
another 100K in it unless I yank for a ported 12A I have brewing in the corner of the garage.
