Canadian cars have metric speedos. We have been metric since 1977.

My '82 T/A has both MPH and KLM. this was standard for this year and did not have to be changed when your car was converted in Aus, because it had KLM's on it, it was legal. The MPH is a bonus. Go to Readers Rides and on the 82 T/A owned by KIZZ you will see a pic of the 82 St'd speedo.
