I saw a speedometer just like that on ebay like 3 years ago. They are very rare. It is an aftermarket speedometer made by The Corvette Clinic Inc.

Unfortunately, the only people that would notice a 160MPH speedometer is a thirdgenner. I have the 140MPH Z28 speedo and believe me, no one notices unless they are heavily into thirdgens.

Its not right.. So I ask the seller why the speedo font are diffrent form the tach, and why the PSI reads 200 and 400

Well the guy answer me.. Blaming GM for the fonts.. I also asked a local GM buddie here and he took a look.. As he put it.. the speedo is a option for 86-88 and the tach is from Canada 82-84.. Its a mixed cluster... nither was produce togather.. I also just reliezed that the lenes are missing from the Dir. and the clear plasic is also missing...
