I've always wondered how many of these actually have 200k+ on them. As long as the motor is rebuilt once in a while, it's not like they can't do it. My 1930 has over 700k miles on the motor (documented, and has been rebuilt 5 times). Go look at the number of C5's for sale that already have over 100k on them, and remember that most of those aren't even ten years old. Now imagine another ten years, but pretend the odometer only showed six digits.
C3's were daily drivers once too, and if a particular owner held it long enough it's entirely possible that many C3's reported in the 60k-80k mile range were actually 160k-180k. Or more.

I totally agree, I assume that 60k means 160K unless the car is spotless and original.
