speedos? i hope we aren't talking underwear!!!
 
89 1/2 to 93 cars have 140 speedo standard in the V8's. pre 89 1/2 to 87 had the 85. now to make it a little more confusing, the 87-89 1/2 police cars had Certified 140 speedos. the 89 1/2 to 93 cop cars had a certified 160 speedo in it. i got my hands on a 160!:D

My '79 has the sweet 80mph speedo. Hehe, how worthless - I could do over 60 in 1st when I had the stock 2.47 gears with the auto.
