Anyone ever heard of a 84 turbo Z-28? this seems to be a two hundred mile per hour head with a 8,000 rpm tach?...I`d like to have the tach as my car bounces of the needle a few hundred feet before the end of the `1320

speedo head

what the hell, Ive never heard of rare Turbo 84 Z28. Thats full of crap. 200mph speedo with a 8000rpm tach? The only turbo that rings into mind is a 1989 TTA anniv edit with 3.8 Turbo. Im not even sure if those came with 200mph speedos, or did they (TTAs)?

I've never heard of it, but i imagine if they made one, it'd look like this.... http://www.fbodymotorsports.com/inc/pdetail?v=1&pid=269

I got a turbo camaro with a 350 and 5 speed stock!!!! and a chain steering wheel, and yosemite sam mudflaps that say get back. That's why radar can't pick me up... My car is too shiny.

cuz u wax everyday right?

that turbo body kit must be what he is refering too.

maybe your thinking KPH? and doesnt all tachs in our cars go to 8grand? but just redline between 45-55?

hmmm.... never heard of it, but it looks like a legit speedo. Post this on the History section willie should be able to help you out.

Mebbe it could be a canadian gauge cluster that goes to 200 kph???

Or maybe at some time someone put in overlays to impress people with how high the gauge goes??????? I know its a stretch.

"If you ever had a chance to sit in my car you'd be gobblin' cone before the first red light."

There were a couple aftermarket tuners that offered various packages for thirdgens. Early on when it was just an 85mph speedo, a lot of these tuners upgraded the speedo. I don't know the origin of this style in particular, but I do know that a few exist.

not only that, but think back to the 80s.


everything had the word turbo in it.. because it sounded "cool".

lol, yeah, cars back in the 80's weren't that fast. Just think back to that movie Back to the Future....I chuckle everytime Marty McFly says "Lets see if those bastards can do 80!"

After looking around on the net. I found this.



It is an interior shot of a Gale Banks Turbo 82 Z/28

Look at the speedo, it is very similar to the one in the auction. The tach apears to be a little diffrent. It is very possible that came from a Gale Banks car.

The speedo pictured above was an aftermarket speedo. It was actually an over the counter part.

That gale banks car def has a different speedo than the one that`s for sale......it does say turbocharged so it may just be a gale banks design. I wish it didn`t say turbo on it but I not goona lay out that kinda money for a speedo that may not even work.

Bingo, Banks sold those 200 mph "turbo" speedos and a 140 speedo that just said "Z-28" on it (I have that one). Not factory i any way, shape or form, but they were a hell of a lot better than the factory 85 mph ones.

The 140 speedos are factory I believe.

Not the one posted. Factory speedos were 145 and did not say Z28 on them.

Well, I sent the seller a few questions to see if he had any further info on it....wait n see I guess

they looks cool (the 200mph speedo) But whats the point of having them ? Our thirdgens can only go half of that speed ( ive seen 150mph L98s) i DUNNO just my

Yup, thats the one I was thinking of.

Reviving!

Here's a pic of Gale Banks' speedo and tach.

it was 90...remember at 88MPH the flux capactior activated the time circuits. gosh!

To clarify, the 140mph speedos with the Z28 on the lower face were a GM service part, but were not installed in any cars at either Van Nuys or Norwood.

It was listed under P/N 25052189 (obsolete now) and the wholesale price was approximately $109. (circa 1983)

It could be installed in any 82-84 (and possibly later ones with the single pointer 85mph speedometers), but the font type for the numerals matched only the 83-up, even though it's not that noticeable in the 82 with the more rounded number type.
