Thanks for watching Mr, Higginbotham!

Solon, I always enjoy your videos - and you are right that they give us a lot to talk about. I have been playing with cars for almost 50 years and one thing that hasn't really changed is how many people claim low original miles 25k, 87k, 60k - and they never seem to notice the older cars only have a five digit odometer. I have looked at many thousands of cars, I've been to more than 1,000 car shows. Very few claimed low mileage cars pass scrutiny. Now I realize you are reading those ads as written, and many of those sellers are just repeating what was told to them by the previous seller. With these lower prices I don't really care if the seller is embellishing the details. This is just for fun and the cars will be sold mileage exempt because of age. The Ranchero 500 was super nice, and I thought the use of VW Beetle front fenders on the last rat rod was very creative.

Thanks for watching! You are spot on, Thomas! You are probably going to have to add an extra 100,000 miles to some of these, but I try to take people at their word, so if they say whatever the mileage is, that is what I go with! Great insight, brother!

@Thomas63r2

@@Americanrodshop Yes, at least another 100k or 200k or more. Modern cars force more honesty about miles, but its always been true that a well cared for car can have several hundred thousand miles and still look good. I've talked with classic car appraisers and they have told me that almost all claimed low mileage classics have seen one or more flips of their odometer. They do find legitimate low mileage cars, but they say that is a much smaller percentage of cars being sold as low miles. I was into Corvettes for a while, and there was this guy known as the Corvette detective. He had been tracking Corvettes at auctions and classic car and specialty dealers for decades. He kept records by vin of how they were equipped and optioned, paint and trim. He often found cars "losing" miles. As the years went by he also found many small blocks sprouted an "original" big block, many carbureted engines became "original fuelies." Fun fact, there are now so many really good fake L88 Corvettes out there (with fake documents, fake aged tank stickers, fake restamped blocks, etc.) that there are now more L88 Corvettes than Chevrolet ever produced! Like I said, when the price is low I really don't care if the seller is not being completely honest with the miles - they may even be mindlessly repeating what they were told when they bought the car.

Another great show young man! My pick is the Ranchero , I really like the older Elcaminos and Rancheros but man where did the time go! The 77 wagon was produced bout the time I got my driver's license and I wouldn't been caught dead in it and now I wouldn't mind having it sitting in my yard at all!

Classic cars from the 40's, 50's and 60's will continue to drop because the people who collected these cars (Babyboomers) are dying off. Therefore, these car values drop due to very low demand. But, the cars from the 80's and 90's are skyrocketing because Gen-X and Millennials are going through nostalgia. The same will happen to the 2000s cars.
