Is there anyone out there that knows of a 1978 F body, with the 360-4 (E58), NON cop car, that came from the factory with a 125 mph "certified" police speedometer, or did EVERY non-cop E58 come with the standard speedo?
I have it. Nothing sticks out. A43, A53, E58, built May 5. I can send it to you.Did you ask for a fender tag pic of this car?
I agree with both your points! Thanks for your response.I can't say 100% for sure BUT, I've never seen a "certified" speedo in any non-police pkg car that was original. I'm talking Mopar, Ford and Chevy so,,,,,,,,,if I had to make a call, I'd say the answer would be no.
Now for the disclaimer. I've learned when it comes to cars, especially Mopar you can never say never. Certain cars were "never built" and that's the consensus for 40 years or something and then,,,,,,,,,one will turn up with documentation to prove it or, the car was just plain built wrong, which is tough to prove as fact because any documentation won't match. My dad's '62 Fury is one of those. He bought it new and he and I know it was built the way it is but it has some Sport Fury pieces it's "not supposed to have" because it's a plain Fury 2 dr hdtp. An example of a car they never built that way.
I would agree with that statement.If they ran out of the regular speedos at the factory they won't hold up production if they have any cop speedos in stock.
It's funny how so many of these posts go off in different directions. I guess that's the fun of a thread on a forum! Anyway, above is my original post. So, the answer still is "no". Nobody has come forward with proof or "I knew of one..." There was a reason for my original post, and XfbodyX has been a wealth of information and a gigantic help to settle the issue.Is there anyone out there that knows of a 1978 F body, with the 360-4 (E58), NON cop car, that came from the factory with a 125 mph "certified" police speedometer, or did EVERY non-cop E58 come with the standard speedo?
