Found this on ebay. i would try for it myself, except i dont have the money and doubt my car will go that fast anytime soon, so i decide to help out some fellow bird owners.

I've seen 'em go for upwards of $500. That $160 is actually a bargain. It's also about $140 more than I'd pay

Yeah, and the canadian 200kph cluster sold for around $95 shipped... I figured people would disregard it since it was canadian and I would be able to nab it cheap and have a 120 mph speedo. Cant find a 120 mph face for these but oh well.

I sold a Canadian speedo for like $35 on eBay. It was out of my parts TC (I already had a Canadian speedo in my car). I was actually surprised it went so cheap - the W2-modded disco dash I sold at the same time actually went for more. eBay is a funny thing...

I just want something that goes over 95. I could never find a cap to convert my stock one.

I thought the Canadian speedo can be converted to a 140MPH with the proper face replacement.

I remember my 1st 140mph speedo...I paid $145 for it (new). A couple years later I wanted one...the year after they were discontinued....and I couldn't find a new one for under $200. They were nice additions to my Sport guages!

I don't imagine there are too many of them floating around anymore..hence the price-tags. $160 is a great price!
