I don't think they did it purposely, I think it's a glitch with these odos...

From one site:
And it’s possible to replace an odometer—it just costs $580. One driver reached out to Toyota directly, and was able to get the automaker to agree to pay half for a new odometer. The reason Toyota won’t pay full price is because it considers this a maintenance issue. Drivers whose odometers have reached their limits are encouraged to reach out to Toyota directly for information on compensation rather than reaching out to dealerships.

Which engine and transmission did that one have?


250 ci six and a slip-n-slide...and it was the tranny that went out...


My 66 Chevy Bel Air with the 250 six cyl broke the compression rings on #1 cyl. at about 65K. I replaced the short block with a Jasper rebuilt(ran great) and touched up the valves myself.

I don't know if the engine in mine had any work done to it or not, it had 279K when I bought it...it did use, and leak oil though...
