That's one of my "pet peeves", I really like the gauges on the XL/XLT models too.:)
Yes, and that 130 MPH speedo is crazy. What kind of idiot at Ford wanted that.

Well, I remember bragging to the neighborhood kids that my Dad's brand new '65 Mustang could do 120, then proudly show them the speedo in the car to prove it!

I would not want to be in a 65 Mustang that is doing 120 MPH, no thanks. At least not one that is more or less stock like mine. Scary.

Beautiful notch! :like:
And yes, all they were was re-bodied Falcons...
Brings to mind a decrepit '82 Honda Civic wagon I had, anything above 60 mph in that thing, well, was an adventure!

That, my friend was cutting edge automotive electronics according to GM, circa 1979.
In as little as 10 years (or less) from now, people will be laughing at Sync3...
Too funny. Guess I was never in a GM as a kid...or didn't pay any attention. Of course, if it was more "luxury-level", that would also explain it.

But THIS I remember...lol:

Those old speedo's increased the indicated speed the faster they went. Calibrated speedos that were in police cars were just the gauges that were closer to perfect.

Made a run to the Seattle Boat Show yesterday from Bremerton. The gas mileage and fun factor of driving the Ranger still is strong after 5 months.

It was a six, motor swap to a mid 70's 302 happened before I owned it. Literally changed nothing else. She is a bit of a project/work in progress.
