A friend of my dad's bought a Schwinn Super Sport in '66 and rode it a similar number of miles. My dad bought it from him for $50 and gave it to me in '68. I finally parted with it in '92 when I was moving from CA to TX and ran out of space for more toys.
Like you, I rode that thing many tens of thousands of miles.
