Yes, mileage on the historical titles. I suppose since the first 3 owners covered 40 years, it's possible one (or more!) put a little over 100,000 miles to make it still appear sequential

Will check the brake pedal when I get it

One trivia bit that the DMV person told me - there were 4 previous owners - 2 in Nebraska, 1 in Iowa, then Gesswein in South Dakota (since 2014, which I know from the title they gave me).

Definitely a great feeling!


And of course pics of the finished job are requested

Good deal! Maybe I can get mine straightened out too
