Anybody on here have a '67 GTO for sale with 9 original miles? Maybe a misprint or something. If not that's literally taking delivery at dealer and going home and parking it for 40+ years.

Where did you see the car for sale? Maybe I missed it on ebay.

I may be wrong, but I remember seeing a mariner turquoise? 67 GTO in a smallish museum around the Boston area around 1990 that had what I recalled as about nine miles on the clock.

Thats if you lived that close to the dealer too.

a perfect waste of a nice riding car.
a gto was meant to use,,,drive,,not as a trophy

This is probably one of those "Yea, he bought it the day he went into the war and got killed. Never came back" types of stories.

[Mr_GTO]

Doubt it. Probably had the speedo turned back after restoration. I've never heard of such a car existing.

[wytnyt]

my guess would be it tripped 100k and a bright light came on and...
hey look ''we have a new car''
i just find it incredibly hard to believe a 40 yr old car with 9 miles on it,,,,or 10 20 30 40 or even only 50k on it.
i see low mileage and say yeah ok

[CT Goat]

There are plenty of documented low-mileage cars out there. Just because you seem skeptical doesn't mean there's a story to be told. I recall a very nice RAIV Trans Am that had under 1000 miles because its owner didn't come home from Vietnam.

I know of a 1975 loaded Grand Prix that was bought new in 1975, (last year for single headlights) driven for the remaining summer (two months) and parked, never to see daylight again. I have personally seen this car 1,000 times for it was my old neighbors car, I moved but the car has not. Still sits in the garage today. It is white w/ red half vinyl top and red interior, a beautiful car. Milage is I belive 2,000 something. It looks brand new, not a scratch on it. It is a 400 automatic w/ floor console.

Now that is a waste of a good Pontiac

[ged2227]

1979 Anniversary TA automatic with 5 miles on the clock. Father owns a business and bought it for his son (as a bribe- 'work for me, take over the business and the car is yours'). Well, the son went his own way. Dad parked the car in the garage. Plastic is still on the seats, sticker still on the window. Has NOT seen daylight since 1978. Yes, the dealership is 3 or 4 miles away from his house.

This brings up a good question that a friend of mine raised the other day. He's doing a fulll restoration, frame off, on a '57 Caddy Eldorado convert. He had the speedo cluster rebuilt, rechromed and set the odometer back to all zeros, thinking after the car is done, will really be starting with zero miles. Now he's wondering if there are any legalities, since he actually messed with the odo.

This is done all the time. As long as when he sells it he signs the title as 'miles unknown' or 'miles in excess or mechanical limits' (whatever that state has on the title to show that it is not the actual miles) then he will be ok.

My stepdad bought an 85 IROC new. He died 3 weeks later. He never took the plastic off the seats. My half brother still has the car, still with the plastic on the seats and only 900 miles on the odometer.

There used to be a guy who posted here all the time (cant remember his name) that collected very low mile cars. He had a couple of Irocs and Vettes with less than a 1000 miles.

This 1970 LS6 Chevelle had only 28 miles on it, was sold at a Mecum auction for around $400K IIRC

I remmember reading about that car......How are you Bob?? Miss the GTO yet??

I grew up with a neighbor down the street who has a '70 442 W30 455/4speed hardtop that had 9,000 original miles on it last I talked to him. He takes it out to get state safety inspection every year & puts a few miles on it, then puts it away until the next year (he's done this for the last 38 or so years that I know of). It is heavily modified (was NHRA record holder in 1970 & 1971 - I do not know what class, though), but could easily be turned back to stock. I believe he has every original part off the car.

It's a time machine, though - yellow Ladder bars, original red inner fenders, M/T 50 series rear tires/"dual 90" double white stripe tires in the front, glass packs/headers, Cragar SS wheels, M/T valvecovers, 4.33 gears, etc. I know the hood was damaged & repaired back when the car was raced, but the rest of it has all original black paint with gold/tan stripes & black original interior. The paint shines like new. I think there is a few cracks in the hood, but it looks perfect otherwise. Was always one of the sweetest sounding cars I ever heard.

I don't see him much but once/twice a year. I haven't seen the car in at least 10 years since he moved away from where he lived before. I still see him at car events & I ask him how 'my' Olds is doing He is usually driving one of his Packards, since I guess he has no real interest in the Olds. I doubt he will ever sell it and his kids are a couple of years younger than me. I know they want it.

[Old Blue 66]

Im pretty sure there a well documented Corvair somewhere with 20 miles on it. Cant rememeber where I read about it though.
