I think what would be cool is if this car is such a low mile car, the original motor is still at the original bore. It would represent something that is rare, and matches to me how the engine was found (or supposidly found). It would vindicate the mileage. That is hard to duplicate. I do think maybe there is a reason it has such low miles (like the engine was blown or the original owner never came back from vietnam, etc). It was a street raced car and we all know what can happen (plus a young kid owned it). Or the engine was taken out and put in another car.

The odometer looks correct (no white lines, so no sign of rollback). Generally you will see discoloration of numbers that were left in a certain position for years of sitting). My 4k mile hemi gtx has that (it sat outside in the midwest for a little while). I am sure this car rolled a little bit since restored, and I am not seeing any discoloration in any of the low numbers. Who ever buys this should have it roll forward a bit to see some of the lower 2 numbers start to look fresher.
