140 MPH Speedo
 

I bought a 67 camaro today that was last titled in batavia Illinois in 1986. The car has a 140 MPH speedo. Did any 67's get such a monster or is that from something else ? It's a Gold on Gold car.... Why does nearly every car I buy have to be gold https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

140 speedo would be 68 COPO only as far as I know. 160MPH is 68 Firebird.

I will have to look at it again. I should see it again Thursday and will have it home Friday or Saturday.

Looks like 68-72 GTO dial placed over the original speedo. I think I can see numbers through the turn signal voids.

Unless the original color of the car is black w/gold interior and you have an extremely rare Black Panther!

Re: 140 MPH Speedo
 

Nah, it's a base model car gold outside and gold inside.. shackles and slotted wheels, rolled rear fender lips and lots of rust... I enlarged the pic of the speedometer on my computer and I think I see some numbers too so it must be something someone thought would be cool.. The 1986 title says it had 34100 miles. The subsequent 4743 miles appear to have been run on both quarters and not on the wheels.....


Wait a minute, what's a Black Panther ?
