I advertise them with some regularity on this site. I've sold at $50 and up, depending on quality; however, my normal price for a cosmetically sound cluster with working trip odometer (something you should check, as at least 50 percent of the one's I've had are not functional) is $125 shipped. Please check my ad in the classifieds should you be interested. The cheapest way to go, as you might expect, is to find one in a yard.

Are there any that fit in a '84 firebird? I have looked and they aren't the same as for camaros, I don't want to change the whole dash area out... so did any thridgen firebirds come with 140-145 speedos?

The Camaro 145s are from 86-89 cars; both 305s and 350s had them (red lines are different). For an 85, all you need do is swap out your current cluster for the 145 cluster. I suggest swapping only the speedo head; that way you're assured that the guages work and that the lights will all be in their proper places. Also, while the cluster is out, you might consider white faced layovers or higher intensity xenon bulbs.

I have a 92 (electronic Speedo) and the local GM yard here wants $175 for a 91-92 unit.
They have a bunch of them, though.

im selling a 140 mph speedo for 86 and up firebirds.

im looking for around 100 as everything works, it shows around 100,000 miles on it and im sure you can fool around with it to show your mileage.
