Found a numbers matching 1970 Charger 440-6 in the area, needs good restoration, mileage is over 100K, but the price is cheap.    After restoring it, how much will the mileage affects it's value.  Some people say nothing, I find that hard to believe.
too many to list!

Nothing really.  It gets played up in adverstising all the time and the number of miles SINCE RESTORATION can make a difference but unless you are talking about an unrestored survivor type of car it really doesn't affect it.  There are some who it may make a difference to but they are the minority.

It really doesn't :Twocents: Condition, options, and color, impact more that mileage at this point  :Twocents:

If you have found a 70 Six Pack Charger and you feel the price is cheap, quit wasting time asking us if the miles after restoration will affect the price and get it bought!! :cheers:

Already have a deposit on it, not that stupid.  Worst I could lose was $100, makes no difference.
