    Re: Judging % Restored vs. Original *TL*

    Boy would this require a WAG.

    How would one define original? There are all kinds of shades of gray to that term. 100%? 99%? 70%?

    The only thing I am sure is all of the cars have "original" miles - I have yet to hear anyone claim there car has un-original milse, so that part must be original.

    Non-Original Miles

    Terry,

    How about one dealer who says "TMU" for "True Miles Unknown"? I suppose that one might classify these as non-original miles?

    How about the odometer rollbacks at restoration? We kind of ignore those....

      Patrick,

      I had not considered either of those options, however, the odometer roll back on restoration depends on what the owner states. Anyway just having a little fun.

        Terry,

        I thought that only Dale, Jerry and George were allowed to have any fun. Someone forgot to tell me.

          Exactly right Patrick, we paid extra when we joined to have fun, it is an option no longer available from the NCRS.
