have any of you guys seen the black T-Top coupe in 5.0 Super Fords magazine? the builder and owner KJ offered to sell me the non ssp 140 speedo out of that car for $125 shipped shows 93k on it, looks fine, but is that too much?

On a side note, I've known KJ for years now (we're local to each other) and he's a real stand up guy, so I'm sure you're getting a great piece if you did buy it.

IF that speedometer is for an 87-89 then that is a fair price. I have sold them for much more than that in the past. If it is for a 90-93 (curved lower portion to allow more space for the non tilt airbag wheel) then that is not a deal. More like $80 would be right for it- they are very common.

The 89 cluster was the only year a 140 speedo was available from 87-89 and that is what adds to the value- if you want a 140 speedo on your 87-88 then you really have to use that one year only offering.

Not a big fan of the remans. The sticker they put over the original letters is too obvious.

I assume that includes the cluster as well as the speedometer for that price.

Matt, your talking about a "Non" SSP unit, right??

Yeah, SSP is a whole different world.. as are the 83-86 140 units. Apples to Oranges there.

I was not clear enough there- this is concerning factory stock parts not Motorsport or Certified Calibrations, both of which command a premium.

this was/is for 83.5 to 86, non-ssp. with a dirty cluster for shipping purposes only
