She insisted on knowing how many miles it had on it. I explained that I had assembled the car from parts so it didn't matter what the odometer said. That freaked her out.
If it were assembled from parts, how did you know it was a '67?
My mom bought a HoOmni, assembled from the front half of a wrecked Horizon and the rear of a wrecked Omni. Fortunately from the same model year. I think she put 125,000 to 150,000 miles on that beast before she traded it.
