Re: Re-stamped engines and Lowering Miles
In most states or at least mine in the Usa tampering with a speedo is a felony however the laws are dim once a car is 20 years old there is a piece of paper that is a as is buyer agreement that exempts seller from such things as a speedo reset when the buyer signs it maby someone found the original motor and figured it had 30 k miles on it and reset the speedo
 but that would still not be right I dont agree with that kind of stuff but thats just my opinion

Re: Re-stamped engines and Lowering Miles
just a tidbit for some of you that may not know, if white lines show up beteen the numbers on an odometer, its been messed with. I grew up in a part of chicago working at a gas station next to an erl schieb paint shop (plenty of painted stolen cars). there was a guy near there that specialized in odometer turnbacks (at the back of a tropical fish shop). I was into fish tanks and cars back then and he showed me how it was done bwecause I would hang around a lot (aka loser), and he said if you mess with them in anyway, the lines come up.
I have looked at some low mileage cars over the years, and more than you think have those white lines. I figure most know this, but if you did not, now you know. I really pissed of a guy once with a 'low mileage hemi car' when I said his odometer has been tampered with. It soon became an unknown milege hemi car.

Re: Re-stamped engines and Lowering Miles
The 'white line' deal depends on how it's done. If the spool is removed and re-registered, those 'lines' won't appear.

Re: Re-stamped engines and Lowering Miles
wow.and i have set my odometer to zero on two of the cars i built! i only did it since they were ground up resto jobs.and i dont think the mileage really mattered since it surpassed the mechanicle limits of the odometer anyway.

[/ QUOTE ] There is no problem doing that if you were to sell it and disclosed that fact ,the problem is if down the line some one gets a new tittle and says oh its a original 15k mile car but that would be on them not you
