how to verify mileage
I just purchased an 83 Z28 5 speed that was claimed to have only 46K miles. Either way, the price was right. It is extremely clean and 100% stock. The spare appears to have never been used. Is there a way to check the original mileage? Does anyone know what tires were installed on the original cars in 83?

carfax is a good one, not sure if the title would or not, i know my 1988 iroc-z camaro only went up to xx,xxx digits so when you rolled over you could not tell, so you could be mislead around alittle by the owner and or title..

With 46K miles I would doubt if the original tires would still be on the vehicle.

IROCZTWENTYGR8,
Thanks for that link.
That car looks good.
I do like the cloth interior for 1986 over the 1987 version.
I don't like the light gray door pulls on the 87 in the link. They almost don't look correct. I guess because I am so use to seeing my interior.
GM should have kept them black.
Otherwise it looks like my car sitting there almost.
