In September of 1979, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) passed a bill which stated that all car, pickup truck and motorcycle speedometers were to display a maximum speed of 85 miles-per-hour.
This U.S. federal regulation also required speedometers to have a special emphasis on the number 55 (the national speed limit at the time).
The 85 mph speedometer mandate ended in 1981 after much debate and little proof it actually did anything to change driver behavior. President Ronald Reagan, who campaigned on a pledge to end excessive government regulation, helped repeal the law. There has never been any data showing that the 85 mph speedometer saved lives.
Porsche was one of the first manufacturers to switch back, offering recalibration and retrofit dials for their cars produced during 1979-1982.

Clean California title, 3 keys (including red, valet key which does not open the glovebox), spare, jack, touch up paint, manual, warranty book with dealer stamps all the way up to 111k miles.
