Original miles "really" matter on a restored car?

I think that a restored car with low mileage is good to know - bec/ there is a higher probability that most of the parts are indeed original to that car. A good example would be Sandlins '68 Dana Camaro, low miles but a full resto. So, you know that the car will have the majority of it's born with, original panels, interior, undercarriage, etc...

So, low miles can support a higher price on a restored car from that perspective.

If the low mileage is truly proveable/documented I find it to be important to me. The above reasons are very true.
My 70 RA III Judge was bought from the original owners with only 38k miles. I could of left it a survivor but I chose not to. The interior is orignal and still in it. everything else has been redone, but its nice to know it was a low original mileage car from the start and retains most of its original major parts due to its low mileage.
I think low documented low miles on a restored car is important. And for a few cars if you have the before/after history and photos to prove it, I think it is major!
