Title: 240 speedo
Post by: Peter L. on February 18, 2021, 10:19:51 AM
  Just curious. Can anyone shed some light on this, and possibly a WIW?
             Thanks.

 Reads in Kilometers. 1Km is equivalent to 0.6214 miles.

  I kind of figured that ( I live in Canada,eh.) lol.  What would the application be? Export vehicle maybe?

Peter can you take a picture of the back?

Would be cool to have it recalibrated to read in mph, but keep the numerals as they are.

  Back photo. There is also a date stamped on the trip odometer.

  Odd it is stamped 'DEC 15 1966'.

  Unless maybe the trip feature was the same for the earlier cars.

  Interesting, but different from mine.

  I was referring to the lack of a red line, but I see it in the last picture.

  Could a reproduction get away with using a Ford part number?

  Also, now that I think about it, I've had this speedometer for almost 40 years. It was in my brothers 68 1/2 Cobra Jet Mustang when he bought it in 1982.

They state this in the text. "Die Skala ist identisch zur original Shelby Skala, allerdings ohne redline."
means "Made identical to the original Shelby scale, yet without redline. "

Since this is advertised as a one-off ..maybe it ..could be also it was just restored and the face reprinted only. I have no further relation to that company, so do not know. 395CHF sounds reasonable.
200 km/h speedos typically go for 250-350 Euro.

BTW the C8ZF-17265 Kilo-N print is the same for the 68 200kmh speedo.
Tachman prints a label with KM-00X above the Miles-N imprint on his conversions.

The 1967-1978 Ford parts export list only lists a 200km/h speedo with an -H extension, no 240km/h speedo for 67/68, but obviously they exist. Congratulations.

That would be cool. I multiply by .6 when I am driving but it is a conversation piece at shows.

I have a recalibrated one in my 70 Mustang but I think it only goes to 200 miles per hour  If I remember correctly.

Someone use to sell a small nicely done sticker you could put on the visor with a list of approx speeds in MPH for these.

I run one in my 71 XR7 not an easy one to find nor was there much call for making them back in the day. Found a NOS one years ago

I have been driving my Kilo speedo 70 GT350 since 1985. 100MPH is around 62MPH. It has been easy to just look at it and multiply by "6". 50KPH? around 30. Etc. Close enough. Never needed a sticker in 35 years. I even calibrated it off of my phone using Waze to see how accurate my speed is on my conversions.

I have a NOS Km speedometer here
D2ZZ -N
It goes to 220 Kilo'.
My old 69 gt 350 maroon conv from Claude in Belgium, should have had one, but it was stolen before I got it at port in the US.

BTW, if you ever run into an export car, Belgium import officials stamped an entirely different serial number into the engine apron.
Not sure how other countries

  It's an odd piece for sure. Not really sure what it's worth. I haven't been able to find another one.
I would however be interested in trading for some parts for my KR.
