Re: KPH speedo's
Remember the question about kilo speedos in Canadian cars?
Here's a guy in the Detroit area that has a 200 MPH?? KPH?? speedo for an early Chevelle. 200 MPH?? KPH?? Speedo I saw lots of 200?? speedos at the Detroit area swap meets that sort of fell onto someones lunch box. I was sure it wasn't Alzheimers.

Re: KPH speedo's
It was quite common for stray parts to fall into lunch pails and pockets too. It can sometimes be pretty obvious, at the local flea markets, that the stuff must have been falling like snow into certain pails and pockets.

Re: KPH speedo's
The kilo speedos were only for export to europe from what I understand.
We were all MPH till mid 70's here in Canada,road signs,speedos all mph.

Re: KPH speedo's
In Canada we didn't even know what the metric system was until about 1975.It began with weather temperatures (farenheit/celcius)in the mid 70's then road signs and speed limits/speedos in 1977 and so on in a progressive way over several years.I still don't know what a kilopascal(instead of lbs/sq in.) is but some day I'll get there.Anyway even though ALL speedo's in 69 were MPH some companies made overlay decals you could install in your dash.Some were crude others were quite detailed.I once bought a tach/gauge/speedminder set up for a 1972 chev P/U with KPH and thought this is neat, but when I took it apart I discovered it was just a decal(and a very convincing one)

Re: KPH speedo's
Here is how a KPH Speedo from a '69 Camaro looks. All Camaros sold new in Sweden came like this. Later imports (cars sold new in the USA) had new faces from stickers. In those cases the trippmeter still count miles. The original KPH-speedo counts km.

Welcome Jan ! You have to tell these guys some stories about the musclecars you saw in Stockholm back in the seventies.

Re: KPH speedo's
This is a 67 KPH which I bought out in Pleasanton CA about 10 years ago. The sticker is worn but the speedo is mint.
