Kurt,
I dont think youre right on this one - as far as i know,the speedos are
the same for o/d and non o/d cars, (serial no 1280 on the lower RH area)
The difference is the cable.

mike robson
69 roadster(1280 speedo non o/d, getting o/d as we speak)
70 BGT(1280 speedo with original o/d)
72 roadster(1280 speedo no o/d.......yet....)
