<VV> "low mileage" Corvairs and any vehicle old enough to be titled as "odometer exempt"

[Tamias Metis]

   It seems that every Tom, Dick, and Harry  with any older vehicle listed for sale in any marketplace:  ( e-bay, autotrader, hemmings, craigslist, etc.  (virtually all potential markets),   is  listed as  'low mileage' .     Most often  these cars are listed as 'actual mileage'   when  there is absolutely No Way to substantiate such a claim.   The exempt status  frees the unscrupulous  characters  to  make up anything.     The Corvair community is probably one of the more upstanding of any  of the antique marques,  as  many owners  of the finest Vairs are still two owner or one owner vehicles, it seems,  or at the very least  -there usually is a well documented history.     The  state by state titling laws  and/or lack thereof  in this country allow for easy title laundering.    Vehicles old enough to be labeled mileage exempt are routinely rolled back,  zeroed,  dash cluster changed  during a restoration.   This abuse is rampant among the high dollar muscle cars  and
 vintage European sports cars.       Be skeptical  of  any old  vehicle,   Corvairs included,   that  claims  to be low mileage  or actual mileage  in which can not be proven through ownership history and records!    Just  like  your mother often told you when you were a young child,   If  it sounds too good to be true...        As  Joe Friday  was known to say,   "just the facts, maam".
