That car definitely needs a more high profile auction house running it. The aftermarket speedometer has me curious though.

Not exactly aftermarket. Though it is odd to change it and then not drive it.

You're right. It is a GM part. But not factory installed. Which makes me question the mileage.

I'd say it was installed by the dealer.

Clean car, doesn't appear to be a rolled over odometer but the paint is rougher than I'd expect. Possible it wasn't stored in the best of ways.

right there with you. Install a 140 speedo and drive it none? Or put a new odometer in and say it's that low of mileage? I'd say the later but I'm not claiming I'm correct.

Absolutely no doubt its a low mile car. But definitely a little fishy.

Re: 280 mile 85 at auction

Nice looking low mileage car.
I wonder how many miles were on the original speedometer.

At first I thought this was the car on BAT earlier this year, but it is not. This one is in much nicer condition.

For A 280 Mile Car The Engine Compartment Is Pretty Dirty

Re: 280 mile 85 at auction

it doesn't seem like they even washed the car before taking pictures. the PS is all streaky and there's gas stains below the fuel door. the radiator overflow looks slightly aged but the washer fluid one looks brand new.
nice car but highly doubt stated mileage.
