I've always looked at the brake pedal. Not a fool proof but if it is brand new you know it has been replaced.
There is a big difference between my low milage T and my high milage one.  The low milage one still has the dull leather wrap steering wheel.  The seats are much firmer, everything looks new and as Steve mentioned the ride is much tighter.

Guszz do you want a spectra pie plate tank- just keep a 1/4 tank in it?


Dave, I'll be going with a TR tank as I've already picked one up off Kevin

The upholstery does not look like a high mileage car

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I agree Steve, it’s seems too clean, especially for that light colour. I will do some serious underside investigation of the suspension ect in the spring.
The car is stored now. I will work through the winter months collecting the required parts.
I’ll snap a pic of the odometer, maybe that will be an indication for the “private eyes”

Judging by alignment I’d say it’s 137k but I’m not an odometer expert reading these things.

Not sure why 3 pics posted, as I only selected the one. Kinda frustrating posting pics here.

The zero is not centered yet, it should bring the 7 up with it. That is the way it works. 4 of the 5 numbers are aligned, the 5th will probably align in .1 km.

There is a fine plastic thread that keeps the rollers aligned. Nearly all odometers that roll over 100k will pull the thread loose.

If this car has 23k mi or 85k mi, it is about as clean as it gets for light colored interior. The floor pan  appears excellent. Are the driver door hinge pins/bushings tight?

Yes, I was check the DS door closer today and it opens and closes as perfect as one could expect. Very solid

Seems like the perfect car to start with to me.  No collector value.  Solid car without a bunch of flex in it resulting from abuse....Who would ever expect a four door, Pontiac G Body to be a badazz in disguise?

Lol.....my thoughts exactly. Seen a lot of Hybrids done throughout the boards and have a ton of respect for most of them. But I wanted one that was different and unsuspecting. I’ve never seen a Bonny done in this fashion.
It MAY look so tame looking and quite, I may have get a personalized plate to antagonize.  :icon_lol:
