Here is a very nice S/W "Script" 120 MPH 5" speedo. This particular gauge does not have the specific date code, but they were prevalent in the 1950's & bled over slightly into the 1960's. The chrome on the bezel & the curved gl*** is outstanding, which is definitely not a given. If you're unfamiliar with these bezels, they are conveniently secured to the cup with three tiny screws. That's the way they should all be. This gauge was not born as a speedometer. It was an industrial gauge & had the printing "sheets per minute" written on face. I was able to glue on a very thin fan shaped piece of aluminum (actually part of a spare 1960's speedometer face) to cover the "sheets per minute" thing, along with a small blemish. It is actually very hard to see & totally blends in nicely. Then, I was able to source a 120 MPH speedometer drive, which came off of a late 1950's Stude Silver Hawk. It now works like ****er & is dead on accurate with another 120 MPH speedometer that I compared it with. It has the original split mounting brackets. If you'd rather mount this on the steering column, I can remove the mounting studs on the cup & furnish you a proper steering column mount for an extra $40. The price is plus shipping ......$15 to the lower 48. PayPal (F&F) would be best, but a Postal Money Order would work, as well. The first P.M. committing to buy gets it.
