spoolinhard · **shelby charger guage cluster question**

It has been just about two years since I have driven my shelby charger (down for mods) and I cant remember if the speedometer needle stops at 85 or just keeps going around.

My first charger "non glhs" did go past 85 so I used to guess
how much I was speeding...But that car is long gone..still have the cluster. this past year, I got back into the hobby getting my
always wanted GLHS. Of course it goes beyond 85 as well.
If I knew about those little stickers way back then, I could have
purchased them from a dealer for my original shelby charger.

The one in the avitar. R.I.P.

lost more than a good car when it was wrecked..but thats another story!

mine goes well past 85... the farthest ive had it is prolly just past straight down....on the way back up towards zero...

me to the road and the trees get really burly. when I redid the gauges to white I put more numbers on after the 85 and the same distance as the rest.

How did you put extra numbers on it, did you have a shop do it, or did you do it and how?

I made home made white face guages and edit out the kilometer and added on to the spedometer. THere much easier to read at night they glow a Greenish white color.

i had my SC up to the H in MPH the other night .... running with a Porsche. I beliee that equals around 110 or so ... heh

am planning on redoing my guaged and mocking up some custom lighting for them as well. Want theexterior to be old school and original looking and the interior to be custom

Anbody ever have one spin back aorund to 0?

I know for a Fact the speedo will go all the way to back to 5. You should've seen the look on the guys face when he saw the four cylinder instead of a v8 that just beat his firedbird. That was on stock motor with 15 lbs of boost and no intercooler.

I've spun mine back around to 5 mph.

**speedyshelby16** · 02-28-2004, 12:46 AM

how fast is it when it goes back around to the five?

ShelbyTC16v · 02-28-2004, 10:03 PM

I've had mine around to the 5 as well. I think this is 135mph. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Its been a while since I've seen a GLHS decal for the speedo, but 135 mph seems about right. I wished I'd grabbed a few of those decals when we were making them.
