Yesterday I saw a bright orange '73 145 driving down the road so I had to stop and take look.
When I walked up to it it looked so shiny I thought it was a re-spray. But when I saw the odo and ran the license plate I was pretty shocked. It only had 1640 km (~1000 mi) on the odo and had not been safety inspected since 1974 and therefore had been illegal to drive since 1975. It also looked to have the original tires on.
Judging by the condition and the history I could find I'd say that milage is correct. Pretty amazing!
it's the second lowest mile old car I've seen outside a museum.
