The tires are new so I'm good there. Also, the car will NEVER be re-painted. I'm going to be maintaining originality as much as possible.
The odometer in the car reads 86.x miles (yes, 86) - I'm sticking to my story of 13,500 miles. This is what was on the title from the estate and the car sure looks like it - Not tired looking at all.
I've been told that the former owner wanted to take it to Mid Ohio to have track days. To me, this makes sense as I've seen similar JHs modded the same way. Also, a rebuild and performance mods *may* have been performed to try to straighten out the early 907 *issues*. I'll keep digging on when/how the modifications were done.
Thanks for the response!

Mark,
Looks like you found a very nice fairly original car. I really like the original mustard yellow paint, I'd keep that as long as possible.
Looks like you've got your priorities straight, yes timing belt first. You should also check the date on the tires, if ten years old they should probably be replaced.
Also I wouldn't put to much stock in that 13,500 being the original mileage. Why would someone rebuild a motor with such low mileage? More likely the odometer either turned over or at some point stopped working. While my J/H shows only 20,843 I was driving it when it turned over from 99,999 to 00,000. And if the odometer stopped working 13K then that happened a very long time ago since it would only take a year or two to put that kind of mileage on a brand new J/H as a daily driver.
