If a brick is well cared for, over time (and miles) does it develop ..... 700

Everything falls apart eventually - How soon do you arrive at this point depends on two things, you and how lucky you are ;-). Even fanatical maintenance (you know, the first maintenance profile described in the IPD catalogue) doesn't remove the chance of something happening, it just reduces it.

As far as being able to drive a vehicle to the moon and back (or being able to make it to your 5th round trip like Irv Gordon), you'll have the best chance of doing that in an RWD Volvo or old OM606 diesel Mercedes. Maybe even a Slant Six Valiant/Dart as long as the body doesn't melt away from around you. Considering what kind of slugs those last two are, you'll probably die of old age before they reach any kind of high mileage :-)
