Wonder if it’s an original engine and what the engine looks like

..I also have a 427 Cobra replica with an aluminum chassis.

Looks like it is sitting in the receiving area of a bone yard, odometer looks like itmay have been tampered with. Three high mileage grill badges. Who knows.

Not a bone yard , auto auction. How can you tell the odo has been touched? lol.

As stated in my post, looks like it may have been tampered with.
By that, the misalignment of the thousands and the tens digits do not line up correctly which I have read is a tell-tale sign of tampering, along with a zero in the trip meter.

Chase all would be contenders away with an opening bid of $300.00. Then take it to the million mark.

They don't believe in the om601

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.

Why don’t you buy it! Make it to the million mile mark. You’d be closer than me in my 606.

I like the AMG badge and the stick hood prop. Great substitute for OEM.

Body definitely saw 800 judging by that C pillar but everything else looks nice. Either a highly maintained engine or it’s been replaced. Looks so clean for 800k.

I believe it, my OM601 had over 330k on it when sold and was still running perfectly fine...it did have normal maintenance. Around 300k I did the lifters, timing chain, injector nozzles and seals and replaced the vacuum pump out of precaution.....but it never had any issues....started every time, even unplugged at -10F. 28-32mpg all day long with a 4 speed auto

Per carfax had 706k in 98. Had 806k showing 8/2/00 then 12/21/00 125k, maybe a typo. Next mileage entry 11/26/01 was 803k then went up from there. Last mileage entry was from 2/05 at 829k

Mileage is true? . Who knows if its original engine? Interesting though. Once in a while a cool ride shows up..
