Yup. It's called rolling over the odometer. |

Red number is tenths of a mile; therefore, it's reading: 12,628.8.
Edit: If it's already rolled over, it would be 112,628.8... or even 212,628.8. With the early odometers, it's good to have a paper trail. |

| Hmm, no trip meter? (per tank of gas?) My '80 has no 1/10ths digit in the odometer, but it does have a trip meter... which is more common? |

| Does it have a resetable tripometer? Can't see clearly. The thing is also that you don't know if that's the original cluster. I know we changed mine 3 times so not really indicative. I know the km when I got it and I know the km when I had this 3rd engine put in plus the km on the engine. That's how I keep track. Not real accurate but it came from the states with a mile speedometer. |

| Back in the days when I started driving, odos never had the 100,000 position, cars were not really expected to go that far. Car dealers got bad reps for running the odo backwards or forewards to makke it look like less. |

| Or 312,628.8, that is only 10,000 miles a year or ~30 a day. |
