    The guy's eBay ad states that he needs to change the date in his camera.

    I would ask him to post more pics with the correct date to remove all doubt.

    That is a really nice LDO with all the right stuff.

    My car is a 1974. It only has 35,000 miles. It was bought new by a Ford executive for his wife here in Lansing, Michigan. He retired in 1975 and the moved to Florida. She did not use the car much and after they passed the car was bought by a guy in Livonia MI. from an estate sale. This guy did the engine and chassis modifications. I bought the car from him as he had a new Lincoln on order and needed the money! He also owned a '67 Mustang GT with a 289 Hi Po 4 speed he would not sell. Funny my car went from Lansing, to Florida back to Michigan not far form its original DSO and it only has 35,000 miles! It had just 32,000 miles when I bought it in 2002. Many people at car shows don't believe the miles but I don't argue with them any more. It does not do any good. I think the car reflects the originality and its condition. It does has the original paint with some age and driving evidence.

    My 72 Grabber had 36K on it when I got it 3 years ago. Sun faded paint and interior. Redone them, tune up and now it has 41xxx on it. Story was little old lady drove it to beauty shop once a week, and it made 1 trip to Cali in its life. Family sold to a friend on mine who I got it from. He cleaned out couple dozen plastic hair nets out of it and I found a few more in it when I took seats out of car to replace carpet. Talked to ladys son who confirmed story. Says she was getting old and needed something with AC.
