    Hello everyone

    Probably a bit hopeless here?! But I'm looking for a speedometer or just the dial with kilometer display for a 67 Skylark GS. Maybe someone from Canada can help.

    Thank you Emmanuel

    looked for one for years was going to convert over so i had like a 160 mph speedo and had no luck. Apparently it was only in the cars overseas not even in the ca ones from what i can tell.

    Canada only converted to metric in 1975.
    What you need is a speedometer from a Swiss or Belgian built Buick.
    So, since you're in Zürich, you are closer to the source compared to most board members.

    I had one from a Swiss built 1967 Skylark, over 15 years ago, and sold it to a board member in Wisconsin, he thought it would be cool to have a speedometer that showed 200.
    Two years ago I shipped a 200 kph speedometer from an Antwerp, Belgium built car to a board member from Canada for his 1966 Electra:

    By the way: your board name is Emanuel Bader, but you sign off with Emmanuel (in this post and also in other posts), why is that?o_O

    BUQUICK I'm your huckleberry.

    I've only seen one km/h speedometer in a '67 A-body. This gentleman with a '67 GS400 lives in Paris, France. I would like to see a better picture of one of these 200 km/h speedometers.

    I have a few photos of the 1967 speedometer that I sold somewhere. I can't remember the board name of the board member from Wisconsin.

    Well, I'm already looking for one here for a while, there doesn't seem to be any here either, that's why I'm asking in this community, which is much larger than ours here.

    would be cool if you did get one to have it 3d scanned. Then other folks could 3d print it.

    I was going to purchase the KPH speedometer that came up last year, but life intruded. I use a GPS to tell me my speed in KPH. I am usually fairly close before I look though.

    If you're on about the speedometer I sold to Marc two years ago: ask him if he still has it, he sold the Electra and I never heard from him that he mounted it in the Electra or Wildcat.

    Thank you. I will talk to my Boss first though.

    Thank you. My wife put a kibosh on the idea anyways. As we all know, if the wife ain't happy, no one is happy!
