so my 1965 barracuda i just got seems to have gone Ferris Bueller on me. the odometer counts backward when i drive down the road ?????????????????????
 
I wish mine did that. LOL I am waiting for it to roll over so I can unplug it. HAHA


That is strange though. What trans you got in it?
 
speedo cable was put in backward
LOL just kidding
Something inside the speedometer is broken.
 
Keep drivin' it. Pretty soon it'll be a low milage surviver and you can sell it for big $$$.

I'd have to agree on the broken thing, but what broke and why would it go backwards...
I have a spare speedo from a 72 sitting on the shelf and there is no way I can see that it would be possible for it to roll back even if it's broken. I'm sure that the 60's speedo's are different but....
 
Yes, the speedo part works correctly, whether it is accurate or not, he has not figured out but, going down the freeway, it reads 70 or so....
Gotta be something goofy with the odo gearing in the speedo head. That would be an interesting one to take a scalpel too....:)
