He did repeat to me that it now has a little over 400 miles on it when I asked, but I didn't pay close attention to that photo till after I spoke to him. And thanks, Bill, that might explain my concerns.

I look more at what the car looks like and how it may have been driven and maintained than what the odometer says. Either way on that one the mileage
is almost nil so I'd be more concerned about how good the car looked all over
and what history you could get on it - like you are doing. Don't get hung up on the odometer.

It is possible to "add" miles on the trip odo by pushing the reset button. You can push the button partway and have the drums move in a rather random fashion. I can add mile to the trip odo of a rolling chassis with no powertrian or speedo cable!

As said, to me an odometer is only a suggestion. Condition and inspection reveal the truth about a car.
