And there's no way a stock '64 1200 SP could do over 60 mph!

You bet. Years ago I had a new 63' and it was a pleasure to put the
speedometer in those positions (of course I was 17 at the time).

I was just reading that supposedly the 1955 model could do 71mph with a 34hp
engine. Weren't those 1100cc engines?

Running low on fuel, or gauge not working?
I seem to remember getting the needle past the 6 o'clock position going
down a looong hill with my -56 T1, but I think the speedo scale stopped at
120 km/h..

I was almost out of gas. That's why I was in such a hurry so I could
get to the station before I ran out. Wink

I got pulled over years ago and the cop was trying to tell me I was
doing 75mph up a hill in my 59 bug. Took me awhile but I was finally
able to convice her that it was impossible.
