160 mph speedometer

I saw this picture of a 160 mph speedometer on an Iroc on ebay. It is kinda neat. I thought the highest they go up to is 145. If this is an aftermarket one I have never seen it before. Just thought I would share. Here is the ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6161

I think I know where to get that 160 mph speedo. I was digging in some old mag's and found an article about installing that speedo! The magazine is the 1987 issue of Chevy High Performance. In this article, they do a full install. I don't know if the company that made them is still around, but here it is: Corvette Clinic, 2870 Skoie Valley Highway, Highland Park, Illinois, 60025, (312) 433-6610. Give them a call and let me know if they are still in buisiness becasue I want one of these speedo's for my 84!

Yes there was a 240mph on ebay once... I was the high bidder of $19x ... before I knew about new guage faces... I didn't meet his reserve though... he said it was a factory one that was rare or some such thing.
