    60,000 or 160,000?

    I have a 1970 T, no, there are no VIN issues with her but I am trying to figure out if she has 60,000 km or 160,000 km on the clock. It was a European car so everything is in metric. The inside is perfect, everything is there, no dash cracks or anything, the engine runs like new and the paint is all original with only a few scratches here and there. Problems, yes, of course, some oil leaks, synchros are going between 1st and 2nd, sunroof motor is a bit tired sometimes but really, the car feels like new, it drives beautifully, kind of hard to put into words... but those who understand need no explanation. I guess it just seems too good to be true that the car would have only 36,000 miles on it after all this time, but it seems too good to have 100,000 miles. No, no records. I will post pictures later if necessary.

    Thanks for any thoughts!

    my .02......my experience w/ cars has proven to me a well taken care of car @ 100k can feel almost like new....I have a 99 BMW Z coupe w/ 100k that is DE'd and it drives like new..... also own a 1 owner( I am second) 70 T w/ 117k and it feels like 50k so........? I guess things like tires or looking at spare or feel of clutch, clutch cable etc., might give some insight if they are orig but you may never know......
