That would probably be the 1st time in human history the owners of those 5 digit speedometers would exaggerate to the other extreme. I could hear it now, "So Mr. Anderson... that 1964 Coupe deVille has 529,xxx miles on it and not 129,xxx or 229,xxx ?
I did not want any such arguments on my 62 (and some later
cars), you will note the 6 digits I set up. Over 200K, this one is
still in the trophy collection. The 80 entered a mileage contest
with an oil change outfit. They wanted to see records of new
mufflers and oil changes, but my 304 SS exhaust is lifetime and
I change the oil myself. But they accepted the 6 digit reading
around 300K, not enough for first place.
This 01 came with 6 digits, serving as we write and now well on
the way to 500K. The oil has been changed 57 times. Bruce Roe
