160 mph 87 camaro

I recently pulled a rear end from an 87 camaro at a small salvage yard and noticed it had a 160 mph speedometer and the man said I could have it if I wanted it as the car was to be crushed soon.The owner said the car was a tuned port motor and he sold it. The dash guage cluster looks to be original GM but I was wondering if they made a camaro with 160 speedometer from factory? I was going back to get dash cluster this weekend and was wondering if the car may have been one I have not heard of as I have not heard of a camaro with 160 speedometer.Thanks for any info

I'll agree. I have an 87 IROC with a 350 TPI with T-TOPS and my speedo show 140 mph or 240 kph and I think that is the biggest speedo i've seen.
