I just bought an 89 Coupe. Speedometer only goes to 85 MPH. Does this mean that the car was originally a 4 cyl ?

Thanks...

No, it was that era car. All US auto speedometers only went up to 85 for a period of time in the late '70's through late '80's. I had an '85 T-Bird Turbo Coupe with an 85 mph speedo. What a joke. I think I could peg it in 3rd gear no sweat. I just bought the Ford Motorsport 140 mph substitute and made the change in about 30 minutes or less. It is electronic so no tranny gear change was necessary. I think you can still find them at one of these sites:

Good luck and can the 85 mph speedo. It sucks big time!

 

Yeah, weve got an 85 camaro and the speedo only goes to 85... It spends its time burried lol
