I was waiting for someone to bring that up.

The pebble grain on the steering wheel looks about right for the mileage, if its the original wheel(?). Did the car originally come with power brakes?

In the only picture of the brake and clutch pedals I see, they are blurry enough (they were not the focus of the picture) that I don't think I could make any kind of reasonable assessment of condition They just appear to me to have some dirt on them.

I sure like the car. I am guessing this is not the same car that Scott S was selling early this year, although it appears to be similarly equipped???

Both items are easily replaced,moot point. Let the original documentation and the cars history guide you.

A friend bought one identical to this car new from Rapids in Cedar Rapids Ia. A Malibu was way cheaper to insure than a SS 396,and a well tuned 350 was about as fast as a 325hp 396.

it's not a moot point,when the price is 40k.

my brother's w-31 has 134,000 miles on it,and his original brake and clutch pedals dont look that bad.

the documentation(window sticker) has already been called fake
is that the guide you're talking about?

I can't believe this conversation. The interior is mostly (90%) origibnal to the car......per what the restorer told us.

I have several 4 speed cars here in the shop with original pedals, lower miles and much more wear.

Everybody drives differently and I think that can easily account for vastly differently pedal wear regardless of mileage. Some people may lift their feet directly off pedals while other people may slide their feet across and then off the pedals. That method would easily account for pedal "wear". And let's not forget two-footed drivers.......I know that you're supposed to use your right foot only bouncing back and forth between the accelerator pedal and brake pedal but many people (like me!) are just hung up driving with both feet.
