Looking for an early speedometer that is in good condition. I would really like to find one that is dated 4/70, but I will consider other early dates.
Please PM
thanks,
-Rob

3/70 sitting here in front of me. Not bad shape. Needle moved while I was driving the car. Some corrosion on trim ring, but it is 40 years old.





$25+ shipping.

I took the pictures right after i brought it inside- the moisture inside is because it is cold and raining outside. After it warmed up for a few minutes the glass is clear. Gotta love Washington weather.

Send that off to Palo Alto Speedometer and they'll make it look like new. I recently had mine done by them. Works and looks great.

I had mine done by Al Garcia? als914- one of our members, he put in new glass, redid the bezels, look and work like new, fixed odometer and put in LED lights- whatever color u want. best deal around.

I have several. Most are in good shape.

I angled it so you can clearly see the rust. It is in the date range requested. Not offended, just trying to sell some parts before I throw them away.

Hello Rob,

I'll check to see if I have one?? and get back with you.

Check out my link below and if you get the speedo you're looking for I can help make it look and operate like new.

I have been busy finalizing my engine rebuild on my '74 so I haven't been on the site much.

Get back to you soon.

Hey guys, thans for all of the responses. I fixed my odometer over the weekend and I scratched the face with the needle while removing the odometer. After talking to a friend, who suggested that I use different guts, but my housing with the date code, I guess I will be looking for the cleanest gauge face. rymann is sendign some pictures and then I will go from there.
thanks again

you really need a 150 mph speedometer, with the six that you should be putting in there you will need it. Sell off the weakling four banger and move up to a six, you no you want one, you no you need one, so get one, and sell that wimpy four to some one that really needs it.


good luck
