I would suspect that the oil pressure is in bar or some other value than psi. This speedometer is probably Australian.

How is that not rare?

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.

As would most people, but there are some people out there that want to retain a stock-ish look, but still have it be a bit different.

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.

You're just lucky. They may not be as rare as a ZL1 motor, but they're still very rare compared to the 145 speeedos.

"there not rare, i was just out at my local salvage yard and i seen 2"

Maybe it's because you live in Canada and your speedometers are in KPH?

Well if they are so common, you pick one and I will pay you to pull it. See where this is going? How much would you want?
