You may may be right that the new speedos came out with the last of the 65 cars, a March instrument date would probably show up in a car that was made in June or later. You ever have your speedo apart? there may be a sticker in there that tells more... when cars had their speedos changed they marked them inside. Its also possible that the guts were changed out and the original case used. Anyone else have any ideas? Keith > Was that true of all 65s or was there a mid-year change?
