<VV> Re-setting Odometer

[RAY]

Hi there, in Phoenix. Check with AZ DOT. If it is registered as a 
reconstructed vehicle, there shouldn't be a problem. If registered as 
the vehicle it was originally intended to be, there may be issues you 
need to address. I was a New York State certified speedometer 
technician for many years and as such, back when (70s - 80s), I could 
calibrate, adjust, replace & repair speedometers. The only thing that 
needed to be done if you replaced the speedometer head having different 
mileage on it, with a repaired  or new one, was to reset it with the 
true miles. Then there came a time when you were not to allowed to 
adjust the miles and had to just add a tag with the original miles, 
posted to the dash. No one would ever think to remove the tag. RIGHT. 
Now, who knows what is needed. Today you can get your vehicle properly 
titled stating, (on the title) "not actual milage". This covers all the 
bases, I guess. I live in north Phoenix Arizona, Cave Creek. If the 
speedometer head is out. It's a simple adjustment. Just be careful not 
to touch or attempt to clean the numbers face or other parts that are 
factory printed. If you do, you may wipe off the print.  Amen

Subject: <VV> Re-setting Odometer

I am working on completing the build of a '65 Monza coupe and would 
like to reset the odometer of the Corsa instrument panel that I will be 
installing back to zero.  I don't know if this is legal or not but my 
reason for wanting to do this is this:  The engine is a turbo 180 that 
I purchased from a Corvair vendor in Phoenix (not Charlie) and which I 
have completely rebuilt.  The transaxle if a '66 4speed I bought  from 
the same vendor several years later.  The body is a shell that I bought 
a couple of years ago and the suspension (front and rear) is off a 
Corvair that my wife wrecked back in the '70's.  I also have purchased 
a telescopic steering column and box and the Corsa instrument panel 
 from individuals.  I just think it would be great to have the odometer 
set to zero to record the birth of this Frankenstein of a car.

So my question is, assuming it's legal, how does one reset the odometer 
or is it even possible? I'll appreciate any advice you all may be able 
to provide.
