AFAIK acdording to ADAC statistics, the Mercedes 200D W123 is the most reliable car in history. W123 - the ultimate in function before form. It's going to be slow and boring, but it's going to always be there.
An old F150 with a 5 speed and a 300i6 Engine. If you can keep the rust off of them and nothing else that engine will, quite literally, run forever. Had an uncle that was driving home in one once that blew a coolant hose. Of course it was the bottom one that ran into the radiator, so every drop of coolant drained out of it. He didn't even notice until the coolant had been gone a substantial amount of time already. Knowing the truck was pretty much on its last legs anyways, he just decided to run it till it gave out as he still had over 120 miles to go before a tow truck service would even pick him up, never mind how far he had to go to even get home. Several hours later, when he finally made it home, he popped the hood before shutting off the engine. He said that with no lights on, he could see the block faintly glowing a very dark and subtle red. He then decided to see if he could save it, so he popped the radiator cap and stuck a hose in it. First he turned it on slow, and then gradually let more and more water into the system. Naturally this was all dumping out the bottom of the radiator as well, so he stopped the hose and fixed the bottom pipe with some duct tape. He then turned the hose on again slowly filling the system and listening to it trying to boil itself away. After enough time, the engine had cooled itself to a normal operating temperature and he then shut the engine off for the night. That managed to save it with no ill side effects. He proceeded to drive that thing for another 5 years before finally selling it onto me who then proceeded to drive it for another 8 years, beating the living hell out of it, before rust finally did the frame in. The engine still ran like a top and the gears shifted as smooth as butter. I then sold that to some other guy (ironically for the same price I bought it for) and he then used the engine and transmission in his truck. So somewhere out there that thing is still going.
I just want to point out that most of that was body damage and bitch please that not that bad when you compare it to this

And there is a world of difference between durability and reliability. Durability is when a car can endure a lot, reliability is when it does not break much.
My dad bought a 1987 s10 brand new and when he sold it in 2000 he said it had over 400k miles... I can believe him because his last truck had 395k when it was sold.
