I know, one of these days I'll have to dig out the wife's digital camera, load the software on my pc (I changed PC's a few months ago) and take some photo's.  She bought me a digital camera a year or so ago, and it's still in the box.  I'm undergoing a basement reno, but my parts room is still intact so I know where the ralley cluster with the speedminder speedo is.    I'll see if I can post some photo's tomorrow.

Pretty sure it was a Strato but it may have been a Laurentian. Should have saved that one...........no

When I was a kid a nieghbour bougt an ex OPP car. It was a Strato Chief. When he brought it home it had white doors. He rattle canned them in his garage and it looked pretty good. I never really took notice about which engine it had although it did have the red V emblem on the front fender.

I'm not sure if you guys remember the one I had listed here for 67-68-----

http://canadianponcho.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=118110&p=3&topicID=16670949

Anyway, I ended up listing it on ebay and it sold for $376 US. It was a real nice piece. The guy was super happy with it when he got it. He had been searching for a while he told me.

I have a number of these ralley guage clusters for 1970, even one with the speed minder option.  There's one that's kind of rusty that I should put on ebay on of these days.

There are some wiring changes required when going from the standard speedo to the ralley guage cluster, nothing super complicated but be prepared.

I'd never seen a "Certified Speedometer" cluster before, then there was one on ebay last fall.  The reserve was something like $150 US but it sold.  By looking at the feedback, a speedo collector bought it.  Came out of an unmarked 70 Laurentian or Strato-Chief, detective car.  (I ended up buying the turbo 400 from the vendor)


Could you post a shot of your 70' Rally clusterwith speedminder Clint?
I'd love to see it.

 

 I know I posted a photo of the 70 speedminder cluster before on another string, but came across this string today.  Here's the photo again:

Wow, I had no idea there was a rally-gauge speed warning option in the US.  I have a speed warning cluster and a handfull of gauge clusters, but never seen the two combined!

Want to hear my sad story?  When I finally tracked down a near-mint '69 rally cluster, I delicately took it apart, dusted it, etc.  When I was done, I went to gently wipe the dust off the speedo face and all the numbers came off with it... like the paint had turned to powder!  I've cleaned lots of speedos and never had that happen before or since.  So if anyone wants a half-blank rally cluster...

I had the American cluster in my Laurentian. It's a great mod.
