Would anyone care to make a guess as to how many 140 MPH speedos were made in 1968? Were they only available in the COPO cars? Were they Yenko only?

They were part of the 9737 package, which in 1968 (as far as anyone knows) Yenko was the ONLY dealer to get this COPO option. So basically, every factory installed 140 speedo installed in 68 came through Yenko. There was also at least 2 68 Yenko cars that didn't have them. There were probably a few extra speedometer units produced, but basically the Yenko order was it. Beware, there ARE reproductions out there.
