Has anyone ever seen one of these?
Hello,
Has anyone ever seen this alert speedometer? I have never heard of it, and thought it was interesting. Anyone have one in their car? What years were they offered? This has the mounting face of a 68/69 style dash, did they make these in 70-72?
Thought it was interesting, kind of like the exterior mounted temp gauge!

A buzzer goes off when you go past the set speed. The option codes show it as the U15 Safety Sentinel , in '71 and '72 it changed to the UB7 speedometer package and included a trip odometer.
There was one on evilbay a few weeks back and it went for the big bucks. I've never seen one in person either.
I wouldn't mind having one, my Vista is slowly turning into an option pig anyway.
I've been checking out how the the 1971 CD3 shift lever controlled windshield washer wiper option works and is installed lately, never seen one of those either.
I did just see a powerful bench seat for sale locally.

I have the speed-warning option in my '68 vette, I don't think they were very common in any make or model.

I believe '58 Olds is the first year. I have never seen one in a '57 or earlier!!

I had one on a 64 Rivera.
I remember my Dad and me road tested a 1970 Olds 98 2drht decades ago. My Dad punched the gas and that big Olds burned quite a strip of rubber and was charging hard down the highway...then that buzzer went off around 70 miles per hour. We didn't know what the heck was going on, we quickly found the adjuster and recalibrated it. I remember being really impressed with the power of that big Olds.

Was this a non-US (export) requirement?
I remember that many cars in Sweden were fixed with these in the late 90s. Riding in a taxi for 20 minutes with the thing beeping the whole way was not fun.

I've had several cars with it. I tend to set them at 90mph.
A neighbor had a 69 455 Delta with it. His daughter drove it to school. He set it at 65mph. First thing Candace did every morning was set it about 90 and then set it back to 65 when she got home. Till the day she forgot and her parents drove it to supper... Next morning Candace was standing there waiting for the school bus. Let's just say that Candace knew full well what she had under her right foot.🚀
After a career at a big powerplant that had alarms for everything, I don't want any more alarms!

that appears to be from a 68-69 Olds with the Jetaway trans. The 70-72 cars have the mounting tabs bent 90* to bolt against the flat dash surface.

Thanks, I always forget the 68 cars used the screw on speedo cable.
Isn’t there something different with the high beam indicator with certain years? I recall seeing/reading about some cars having a red square indicator, others using a blue circle?
On a related subject, isn’t there something different with turn signal indicators?
