I couldn't help it.......

I bought a Turbo Coupe gauge cluster with an aftermarket BBK 190mph speedo (made for the buttstuffog gauge cluster).How sweet is that.If everything works out,I'll install it in the Sport and sell my 140mph Ford Racing speedo.More news as it happens.

I'll post pics as soon as it arrives.

No,I haven't had the Sport past 120 mph.The 190mph speedo was just way too cool,and I'd bet it's more rare than the FMS 140 mph speedo,which,is going to be for sale after the other is installed.

That's what I thought as well.I don't know for sure why I got it.My 140 speedo is just fine.I think it's because I haven't seen one,and I like the Sport to be unique from other Birds out there.

It jumps 10 at a time.I'm debating on which one I'm going to sell.One of the speedos will HAVE to go.I have to have the funds for the Sport this month.The next few months are going to be tight for sure.I have to get the engine in after I get a Mass Air meter,have the seats re-upholstered,maybe new carpet,re-detail the trunk,install sound deadener.Not as much work as some of you guys,but a lot none the less.

Nice. I might be interested in buying, but I think next time I am going to make a custom cluster with Autometer gauges. I'll be looking for it in the for sale section!

One of them will be there hopefully this week.I really want to get the Sport in the overall condition I've been waiting for.That means money.
