Looking at this Corvette on ebay
Does this odometer look a little off to anyone else?

Can you be a little more specific as to the problem you're seeing with the odometer?

Looks correct to me. Only thing I see is the smog pump and AC compressor is missing otherwise all is correct and can't be 117,000. Look beyond the main focus of each picture. The door jambs, the corners of the trim at the windshield pillers, the weatherstrips. In the pictures this car looks nice!

Odometer numbers are usually lined perfectly except for the last tenths or next digit about to roll over. The 6 in this sequence is higher the the four to the left and the one to the right. Just doesn't seem right to me. But I guess since no one else noticed???

Looks OK to me. Quality wasn't the 'strong suit' of GM [or other US car companies] in the early 1970's....

The numbers on my old GM car and truck don't line up perfectly, never have.

At one time , when the big three put out a quality product that was true, but now a days that isnt true. Car looks nice in the pictures, too bad its missing the a/c compressor and smog pump. Peace,,,Moosie
