Welcome to MF locoal619.
I would definitely check your speedo sensor. There are many types and I'm not sure if you have a mechanical or electrical but either way I would check that. Do you have aftermarket rims? When did this start? What new mod did you do (trying to find any type of correlation)

use it to your advantage of intemidation, tell all your friends that your car does 80 in first gear and explain that your car is so fast that when you go these speeds, the car actually goes faster than is allowed in the physical world that we live in so therefor it actually looks and feels like you are going slower. then you must start talking about quantum physics and the theory of relativity...
interestingly enough though my friends dad's truck(gmc) does this but goes back to normal after he beats it a few times.

Do you have 8 inch wheels?

What size are your rims, it does sound like your total wheel diameter is too small, that's why I asked if you had aftermarket rims. The previous owner could have wanted too small of a profile tire and unknowingly affected the speedo.

Sounds like a sensor malfunction.
