The odometer shows appx. 81k miles. The chassis had 108,000 miles when I bought the car. This was certified by the previous owner as actual miles. I replaced the odometer with a nice one, since it was in rough shape. The total miles are currently around 111,000 miles. Since restoration the Targa was driven about 3k miles. The original engine, which was finished last year and has about 1,100 miles since complete rebuild.
