Default 85 MPH speedometer
Hi all, newbie here. What years were the 85mph speedometers installed? Also, does the rear hatch open? Thanks, Roger

Testing my knowledge to see what I have learned.

1980 on the speedometer?

The hatch opens one year only, one model only. The 1982 Collector Edition.

85mph speedo began installation in late 1979 cars when they ran out of the 140's .

John and Karol, Thanks for your information. Just starting my research and hope to put a C3 in my collection one of these days. I do like the 78 and 79 models. Roger
