	I'd love to help you, I think over the years I may have seen 3-4 since the 90's. I don't want the 160mph, I've owned two 95 Crown Vic's with a 140mph gauge. I prefer a bigger gap between speed lines, 120mph may be the best overall. I had my first 72 Gran Torino buried at about 130mph, the needle does go a little past the end. I might be satisfied with the stock one if it was accurate for most of the sweep. I do need a better tach, 6k is way too low. I need at least 7k, maybe 7500 will be a good redline.

	Best I can offer is the 140mph police speedometer (temp gauge and fuel gauge, not a sport type cluster) which I believe is for a 77-79 model LTD II S. I'll figure out how to get a picture for you, I was about to maybe list it on eBay to help clear out some 72-79 Ford parts so I can have room for more Chiltons Haynes and Clymer manuals in my shop library.

	I am not sure I would want to go that fast in one of these cars on a beautiful day with proper tires and suspension. By that fast, I am talking maybe 130ish. Doing 20 laps at Pocono was enough to quench my thirst for that kind of driving. I never knew they made a 160 speedo tbh.
