    Santiago - depending on the country they were to be exported to, they were equipped with either kph or mph speedos.

    As from March 1973, the speedos' maximum speeds were increased to 300kph or 180mph.

    the "180" seems to be so out of place. So I would guess that it was added on by a professional, but who knows. I could be wrong.

    The Speedo Looks Original!

    I Have The Same 180 Mph Speedo In My 73 "s".. It Is Original..

    The Speedo Has Seen 168 Mph!!..

    There Was More But I Got Nervous About The X Rated Tires And Lifted....

    Also I Was Told That The Paint And Targa Bar Was Only Rated To A 150mph Rollover..
