My 84's speedo reads high. Going past a parked trooper traffic slowed to 80
by my clock. (65 Speed limit). I'd say that's 60 to 65. By my speedo I
regularly drive it at 90, and can easily push the needle past 100 on a level
road. So I'd say I regularly drive it at 70-75, and have had it close to 90.
Handles better than most cars. Haven't done this for thousands of miles. but
have for hundreds, like ME-NY. No problems. Original engine, 169000  miles.
