I agree, NOS parts are high dollar, but i don't think there should be a deduction in judging. Repro miles would be a good indicator of what has been replaced/repaired.
Maybe a statement like its a 75,000/20,000 vehicle would represent a car with 75000 original miles and 20,000 since being rebuilt/replaced would be more helpful when looking to buy/sell

Then on judging day I just bolt the original miles back on to avoid the deduction.

That car belongs to Al Wagner. He purchased the car from the original owner a few years ago. That guy basically drove the car around the block once a year which accounts for the low odometer reading. It looks and feels like a new car.
I had the privledge of doing the Performance Verification on that car at an NCRS regional meet in Kissimmee, FL a few years ago... It went over the 300 mile mark on the 10 mile road test.
That PV also qualifies as the best PV ride I was ever on... Al did not baby the car.

I parked this Vette in 1973 for a couple of reasons...gas went crazy for the first time and 100+ octane was becoming scarce...and another reason is that the 5 year warantee expired in 73

That a true '68 L88? I'm surprised I've never seen this perusing the forum. Gorgeous car, love the Safari Yellow.
