Does anyone have an idea of what my Rare B-07 Odometer (0-160) from a 1970 F-85 New Jersey State Police Cruiser Intercepter, wich had the W-33 455. Also what is the Vacuum Guage worth? These are Not for Sale, right now or in the near future. I have these boxed and put away. Had them for years.

 

I don't think that speedometer is what you think it is. B-07 was a suspension package on B body (Deltas, not F-85s) as seen below and had nothing to do with speedometers. There was no W-33; there was an L-33 2 barreled 455 available in Cutlasses that were higher trim than F-85. U-11 was a certified speedometer that was more accurate, not higher. Although your speedometer does have a font I have seen in other 442s (even though it's not the normal font) those go to 200 or 240 usually and are export KPH. I don't believe A body Oldsmobiles were set up for police sale in 70. The vacuum gauge is fairly common. The speedo I don't know. Probably 75 a piece on value.

 

i have to wonder on that speedo,why does it have a shift pointer yet no shift pattern?

 

Maybe that is just a reflection from the needle?

 

Wow, those claims are seriously pegging the BS meter.

First, there was no such thing as a "1970 F-85 Police Cruiser Intercepter, wich had the W-33 455." RPO W33 was an engine package on the Delta 88 models, not the A-body cars. Second, Olds stopped offering police packages on the A-body cars after the 1968 model year. There was no such thing as a B07 package available on any 1970 A-body car. Third, if you read the page that Koda posted, the RPO U21 police speedo was calibrated and marked in 2 MPH increments. The one you are showing is not. Fourth, if you look closely, the speedo in the first post has an overlay stuck on the original face. You can see the overlap seam just outboard of the silver area. Peel that off and you'll find a normal 120 MPH column shift speedo. Clearly this unit has been apart and doctored, since factory speedos didn't have green paint on the interior. And the vacuum gauge was standard with every console the factory installed in A-body cars in the 1966 model year. Not really rare.

And FYI, Olds did offer 160 KPH speedos for cars sold in metric countries. You just change the trans gears to make them read MPH.

 

he blacked it out so it can be doctored later on.

I think he should double box them and bury them in his yard

 

If it were blacked out, you'd still see the raised lettering. It's been covered with a complete face overlay. Note the line where the overlay sits on the original face.




And FYI, this is what the factory face and fonts look like.

 

Caught by the experience experts. Good job guy's.👍

 

Thanks for the info. I had the odometer since the 1990's, the guy I got from moved here (CT) from NJ, I got it put it away and recently found it with my Oldsmobile Vacuum Gauge, and 2 Rear Air Deflectors for Vista Cruiser's/Cutlass Wagons, 1 still in original box New, the other no box but I do have hardware. Also found Q-Jets too. Forgot I had these. Saying it may be KPH, now it makes sense.
