Seller's Notes on Mileage/Vehicle History: current odometer reads 16,212 miles. Seller-provided history states the vehicle was purchased new from a Dodge dealership in El Paso, Texas in the summer of 1970 and was later acquired by the Epperson family in the early 1980s, remaining in the family until 2024. Vehicle was relocated from Texas to Indiana in 2012 and was reportedly last licensed for regular use in 1990 before being refurbished in 2013. A Texas inspection sticker dated 10/06/1988 indicates 14,805 miles. When the vehicle was transferred from mother to son in Indiana in 2014, the title listed 115,176 miles because the son was uncertain whether the odometer had rolled over. Seller states the vehicle's known history and condition do not indicate that it accumulated more than 100,000 miles and believes the current odometer reading is consistent with the vehicle's history. Approximately 882 miles were reportedly driven between 2014 and 2024, with approximately 141 additional miles added by the current owner. Mileage is not guaranteed; bidders should review seller-provided documentation and photos.
