HUH??   Me thinks your speedo was in KILOMETERS......6,000lb......luxurious 
yes..but 150MPH....in 1966??

Admittedly my  bud only paid $49k in 1972  for his  NEW botton level 
saloon....which he had me drive  from Long Beach to San Diego.......but approx. 90 was 
MAX speed.....and it wallowed all over I-5.....
but the speedo in kilos said 140!

Matt...didn't like it from the beginning..it had too many doors...
