    If you are referring to the speedometer,I am pretty sure they all went up to 120,no higher.

    The later models did not have 120 mph speedos. Didn't matter anyway, a bone stock '75-77 Maverick couldn't do 120 mph if it wanted to.

    Back around '74, when the speed limit was first reduced to 55 mph and everyone was still in shock at gas being fifty-cents a gallon, you started seeing 100 mph and 85 mph speedometers installed in new cars. I remember having a '77 Thunderbird with a 400 ci engine and an 85 mph speedo.:hmmm:

    BTW, just because I was in college in 1977 and owning cars, does not make old.
