Opinion: Setting mileage on restored cars

[motorheadmike]

Our wagon was reset to zero in Kansas (due to the restoration) and sold to us with "500" miles on it. This was apparently on the up-and-up in that state (and was reflected on the title and BOS), and Ontario had no issue accepting it as such.

I've recently installed new Guages for my restomod Monte SS and I'll need to set the odometer within 100 miles. Original odometer had 95k before I tore into the car 10 years ago. I've since swapped a 6.0L w/ 25k and swapped a refreshed frame in. On one hand I like that the car has 95k of "experience", on the other, there are more new parts than original at this point. Just curious to see some opinions.

who is the say you didn't put 5k on the car and the odometer just turned over to 00,000.......
