I think you meant, in AZ, you can get by as long as you are under
10MPH OVER the limit. 65 Limit, No ticket until you hit or exceed
75.Don't understand why they don't just enforce the 65 or post
the limit at 75 and ticket above that.

You should be able to order one from your local parts store just make
