How cool will that look on a fully restored dash all set up at a show etc?
Attention to detail. Sweet!

Exactly I know i got sucked in and bought one

[playwme]

Pfft, reproduction.

I've got half a dozen genuine ones somewhere.

So I just found mine. They're dated 6/71 and in miles. Part number is the same and it's not model specific.

Have these ones on eBay had some Artistic Creativity added or were the swingers model specific after 74?

[Alien DNA]

Good question .... There would've had to have been an update when miles was changed to kms.

I'd be very surprised, make that blown away, if they were model or (even more surprised) special vehicle package specific. My guess is they were series specific only.

I still have mine from 1974 and there is no Sandman specific noting on it.
