160 mph factory speedo?

Did any of the GS's or GSX's come with a factory 160 mph speedo?

 

i'm gonna say no.

 

Rivieras came with a 140 mph speedo from 1963-1967.And the '83 Indy 500 XX Anniversary Riviera came with a 140 mph speedo,too. Never seen a GS witha speedo over 120. Trans Ams had a 160 mph speedo until '76.

 

Cars exported out of the USA might may speedos calibrated in kph instead of mph.
a 120 mph unit would be replaced by a 200 kph unit.:TU:

 

Here's why I was asking...

I didn't think there was such a thing either but being kinda new to the buicks, wasn't 100%. I remember my dad's old '70 TA having a factory 160 speedo though so wasn't sure if it was maybe a rare option for the gs or something. Guess someone just made a new face plate and recalibrated the speedo accordingly...

 

Ive never seen that 160mph speedo but ive seen a 200mph skylark/GS speedo on ebay as well

 

Give him a call! if it fits and you've got the stuff to wind it up...!

 

Doubt I'll have the potential to wind it up that high right now but it would be pretty darn cool looking!

 

Since it says the speedo was calibrated maybe the inlay was changed to have the higher mph.

 

Just curious. Would the 200 mph speedo cause points to be deducted in a judging?
