Disconnect Odometer?
I am looking at buying this guys corvette, but the car looks like it has 100,000 miles on it and the car shows 9,000 miles. Is it possible that this guy disconnected the odometer? In most cars, you can pull the dashboard fuse in the fuse box, but I don't think that is possible on vettes. Any thoughts?

That would be Morally wrong and very Illegal .

You can also replace the cluster, I always thought the mileage was in one of the modules (PCM or BCM) but recently a friend did a hud conversion on his car and I found out the mileage is stored inside the cluster so that cluster may have come from a low mileage Corvette.
but like Johhny said that would be highly illegal and immoral
What does Carfax say about it???

I have not done the carfax yet. Good idea. So how can he replace the cluster? Isn't that quit an ordeal? I thought he might have been able to pull the fuse to the computer or somthing.

A Toggle switch on the Vehicle Speed Sensor will Bypass any problems such as Codes going off on the DIC (SES) and would be a clean and discreet way to hide such a Bad thing .

Sounds to me like you might be interested in disconnecting your own speedometer.
