Gotta make sure it's that factory original 5-lug 4 bolt pattern.. no aftermarket chrome stick on bolt patterns here!

Seriously, why does everybody sell a car 60 miles after it's been restored? I'm always wary of "motor just rebuilt! Never been started" Why? Why spend all of that money and time just to sell it right away? What the hell is wrong with that motor? There's no money in restoring a car just to flip it. Well, not unless it's a 356 or a Ferrari or something ridiculous.

...that weren't available until the 1970 model year, and were never chrome originally.

I think a lot of these cars that get sold with such low mileage after restoration are cars the owners couldn't afford to finish. A friend of mine's got a '72 Barracuda that he bought well below market value for exactly that reason. The owner ran out of money, it sat in a corner of the body shop for a few years, and finally the shop owner got a mechanic's lien, then finished and sold it to get some of his money back.
