140speedo/8k tach

Does any body know how many 1986 trans ams came with this gauge/tach combo. I am wondering because every other Trans Am around here where I live doesn't have them they only have the 120 or or 85 speedo. If they do have the 140 speedo the tach max out 6k

i thought only the H.O.'s received the 140MPH speedometer in '86 and there were only 26 of them made.

edit: it was probably optional though for other trans ams?

My 86 Trans Am LG4 had the 140mph speedo and 6K tach in it.

My 90 Formula 305 TBI has the 140mph and 8K tach, which I am going to put into my 88 Formula.
