Ouch! That's over 3 times what I paid for mine. I guess if you really want it bad enough...
Here's my tip of the day to go with the joke of the day posted previously:
87-88 TC rear end width backing plate to backing plate is almost 3" narrower than any other 87 - 88 Tbird rear end (especially the88 sport). [Image: frown.gif] Also, Ford engineers don't always know what they are talking about. [Image: eek.gif] The moral of the story...just like in any other matter always verify everything for yourself. Don't just take other people's word for it!
Don't ask because I wont tell you how much it cost me to find that out! [Image: mad.gif]

You know if these things are going for 250 to 300$,it seams somebody could make a new faceplate,re-calibrate a standard speedometer, and make some money. There are places that specialize it speedometers. If they got 165$ that would be a bargain compared to 265$ for a used speedometer!
