You probably won't see one on an old Vette because the Federal Odometer Act (and most of the States which are patterned after the Federal act) only applies to cars that are less than 10 years old.
A written notice must then be attached to the vehicle's left door frame that states the mileage before the repair and the date of the repair.[/QUOTE]
Has anyone ever seen one of these?

IMO, incredible claims must be backed by incredible evidence when it comes to rare cars, antiques, or any other object of significant value. If extensive documentation supporting a seller's claims doesn't exist....just walk away. The priniciple "if a deal is too good to be true...it probably is" also applies here.
My experience has shown me that if you buy a rare car from an original owner or a 2nd owner that has owned the car for years and comes with extensive documentation (i.e. tank sticker, window sticker, maintenance receipts covering several years, etc.), your chances of getting screwed are much less.
Car buyers need to remember that dealers are im the business to maximize profit on each car they sell so they have an enormous financial incentive to "glorify" their cars as much as possible, which is not good for a buyer.
Just my $.02 worth here.
