    Odometer readings

    I replaced my gauge/dash pod in the GT over the winter. I am now the proud owner of a 90 GT with only 17000 miles!

    Does anyone know if I have to fill out some form or another before I register the car again? Or does mileage only come into play if/when I sell the car and have to fill out the NH DMV Mileage Disclosure form.


    Also -- as I write this, I realized I still owe George for the gauge pod.....

    You don't need to do anything until you sell it. Until then, the State of NH doesn't care how much mileage you have, but it will sure look fishy on the Carfax if you do anything that will get recorded there!

    Jim, I've been asked this question before. And according to Rick Menard it's not that hard to reset the odometer reading to match what you had. In the days, he had to do it all the time when selling them to fix insurance claim cars. Perhaps Google it or I can ask him if need be.

    Yea Sam Lite. lol

    Sam Lite -- you got it!

    I guess if the state doesn't care, I won't worry about it. I'll put a decal on the speedo stating correct mileage offset. When I sell this, I doubt the next owner will care much -- even the true mileage is pretty low. (about 67,000)

    Aren't those mechanical anyways? Why wouldn't you just spin it up to match the original mileage?

    Yes they are mechanical and can be changed (for the right reasons of coarse).

    I've been told you can just hook a speedo cable to it and use an electric drill to turn the cable. Never tried it myself as I never needed to.
