1969 camaro 140mph speedo real?

[CamaroKev]

Hello every one!
I have a 140 mph speedometer and I am trying to figure out if it is real or repo. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I am no expert, but I would guess it is a reproduction.
- From my memory the 10 mph and 130 mph indications slashes line up directly with the corner of the mileage indication cut out.
- Usually the mph numbers are able to be seen from the back of the speedometer face
- The color green looks a little off. The original paint had mercury in it which gave the instrumentation the unique glow when indirect light shined on it.
- The face looks new.

All that being said, I am not an expert and maybe wrong.

Appreciate it. I want to be certain what it is before I sell it.

The number alignment matches reproductions and not the originals I have seen.

Thank you Stefano. I'll be selling as reproduction.

Doesn’t match my original, looks like a repop
