Buying an 1971 LS5 from.a State that puts mileage exempt on title, does that hurt value.

Not in my opinion.

I agree with Ed. Glad you found a LS5 now we need pics and info...

No. There is no way to autocheck mileage on cars that don't have 17 digit vins anyway.

4 speed, ac, ps, pb, LS5, numbers on ID,tranny and rear end match to vin on car. Original color, recent repaint . Only is never thought I would end up with a green corvette. Going to put corvette ralley rims on it

Dealer has oiriginal hood are painting it to match car. Looks like with that dome hood I'll male a table out of it.

Thanks. You just convinced me to remove the luggage rack from my ‘71.
Good luck with the car.

I like the luggage rack, long as you never use it! Imagine a suitcase blocking rear view with only that tiny little left side mirror. And that is one beautiful car!

Nice color, it will grow on you , I bought a blue 70 and did not like the color but it's growing on me and getting used to it . Enjoy

Bought and sold many cars in Texas that were "mileage exempt" due to age. Never saw it as a problem and never had anyone question it.

That's a sweet looking '71 by the way.

Hi ta,
Looks like a very pretty car in the photos!
You must be VERY excited.
I hope it turns out to be a good one and it gives you lots of pleasure!
Regards,
Alan

More photos when it's in your garage?

Rack. You won't believe what a guy told me in Pa. He put a rack on the back of his 1970 to have somewhere to put his t tops at!

OK
know anyone that wants to buy a dome hood cheap?

if you SELL later on to a buyer in a state that does not have mileage exempt, then his state title for the car may have to be written as MILEAGE EXCEEDS MECHANICAL LIMITS. or worse case, the title may be branded as such.
happened to me as I bought a car in indiana once. the previous owner did not sign the affidavit of mileage per indiana's requirement, so the BMV 'branded' that title as incorrect mileage. when I traded in the car I got less for it because of the branded title. it was un-sellable according to the dealer ( the dealer would only sell clear title cars) and could only go to auction.

so a mileage exempt car does have a value effect in some states and perhaps will hinder your resale.

Thanks,
looked everywhere for a car that had the original drivetrain.
plus a recent paint job made my pockets feel better.
