Default Re: Original miles "really" matter on a restored car?

I actually respect a fully restored vehicle more if it's original mileage is still showing.To me it's like the past meeting the present.This way you know two things,how many miles it accumulated up to the restoration,and how many it's accumulating after.
I don't think one can or should ask for more money because of that though.
If you roll it back to 0,then your likely to never know or forget at what mileage it was restored at,once if it leaves the hands of the restorer/owner.
As Marlins guy described,"It just speaks towards the approach taken on the resto".
