Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Dwaine, I have a 200 kilomter speedo in my '68. I have heard that ist very rare, like one of two built or something like that, if you would like to have it just ship a mint condition corvette roadster with a 427 435 hp and I will personally fly the speedo to you. OK, I'm just kidding, but I have not seen any other chevelles with a km/h speedo around here so I think its at least a little bit rare.

In sorth this guys has 2 66 Chevelle SS cars and 1 67 Chevelle SS car. All three cars have been setting since the the mid seveties. I tried buy one some time back but could never get a price out of the guy. Anyway one of the 66 SS cars is very complete and has a metric dash but all USA Chevelle 66 SS baging ect. How in the world did this happen? The speedo goes up to 200 kilometers per hour. I think this has to be rare as hell. Unfortunately I did not check to see the assembly location on the vin tag. If I ever make it around that area again I will need to take a closer look.

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List If it has a metric speedo it's an export car. There was something similar on Dream Car Garage on Speedvision. A Hemi Challenger had a kmh speedo They guy that ordered it got sent to Vietnam and was supposed to have the car shipped there as well. The guy ended up being KIA and the car remained in the US, then sold in Canada. Tom - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I will try the next time to get pics of this car. It is a normal looking USA SS chevelle except for the speedo. The car was previously owned by a cousin and he was the original owner. The car has an original 1966 Kansas Title and is in the original owners (cousin)name. He never transfered the title and parked the car on the farm after the tags ran out. I am sure it is setting by the barn with the 67 SS car still. I offered the guy 5,000.00 cash and was turned down. Oh well, again this car has to be somewhat rare today. I would think.

RE: [Chevelle-List] 66 Malibu SS info
Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List Am I the only person wondering if the speedo was just changed at some point? After all, it's an old car and people do all sorts of wacky things for various reasons. It's certainly possible that it was swapped out. The person who did it may not even have realized that it was metric, or maybe didn't care because the price was right. Just a possibility. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You are right about
exports to Europe,almost everyeuropean countryhave Kilometer
speedos.England is still mph I believe.When theAmerican and Canadian car
companies exported cars they could have different headlights ordered and
different tires as alot of the Highways arevery different to drive
on,unless you are in Germany and have cars cruise by you at 180 k per hour
{110 mph] or faster.The Chevelles built in Belgium could even have a Factory
metal sunroof ordered for them.I saw a brand new 1967 black over yellow
small block Chevelle in London in July 67 that had the Factory roof
installed.I chased the guy all around Piccadilly until I could speak to him
about his car,and I remember he paid $10,000 U.S. for it,because of the high
duties on non British built cars.It came from Belgium and it was a left hand
drive not a right hand drive model.They also built Camaro's in Belgium and the
roof was an option also.Rare cars!

Hi Mel, Ken here again just to say that in Canada they made cars for shipping to the USA. and Canada made cars to stay in Canada, the ones to stay in Canada usually had block heaters, so thats a good start to see if your was built for Canada only, or built in Canada to ship back to USA, my chevelle was made in Canada for the US and not to stay in Canada Ken

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List I can attest to the silver cove panel as mine is equipped like that. I also have pictures of an *unrestored survivor* that I will have to scan to show you. This car was exactly the same as mine, with the 283/PG, silver cove, small fender flags, and Chevelle hood and grill. However, it *does* have the rockers along the rear quarter, similar to my car. The car I have photos of (which incidently, I have more pictures of than my own car) didn't have a clock in the console, but instead had a Beaumont emblem.
