Originally, we thought it was just 244,000, but service records were obtained recently that show the odometer rolling over back in 1989-1990.

When I got the car, the compression was low and it wouldn't start in cold weather, so I pulled it for a rebuild.

The bottom end looked good, but the cylinders and pistons were beyond shot. Rings came out in pieces...

So the rebuild at 1,244,000 miles was the first rebuild of the engine? If so, quite remarkable.
