Does anyone have any idea what this speedminder speedometer came out of? I've had it for over 19 years and, although it looks similar to the speedminder speedometer in my '68 4-4-2, it's not the same. The two posts on the back are different. The label is green instead of red. The printed circuit board is blue instead of green. There's a date of "8-66" roughed into the printed circuit board on the back. I'm pretty sure it's out of a '67, but '67 what? Thank you!

I don't think it's 67, even with that date. Pretty sure it's 68-69 probably a big Olds like a Delta or something. I think that's when they started the pods. I have a speedo around here somewhere that mounts the same.

 

Speedminders I have seen were all in Buicks

 

No...they were very common on Olds, my 69 442 has one.

 

I wouldn't say they were very common, but yes Olds used them too. I've found a couple on 68-72 Cutlass/442's.

It is a nice looking piece Randy, and from the front looks just like a floor shift unit I removed from a 1968 Delta Custom.

I have speedminders in my Rallye, F85, & Vista cruiser & have seen several others.

 

It's like a lot of options that weren't on every car. Back in the day, they weren't real common, maybe. But if you go to the Nats you will see a LOT of them. Things like that were salvaged, the cars were junked, now peeps put them on their restos. I think Brothers has a couple in their inventory.

 

After looking at Delmontcruiser's postings about his car, I'm pretty sure the speedo pod I pictured above is out of a '67 Delmont 88. The face on the speedo looks identical and the date on the printed circuit board would be consistent with a '67 model car.

It's a full size Olds speedo and the RPM's per mile are way off compared to a Cutlass... That green label should have the RPM's per mile on it...I think the Cutlass labels are red...

 

I wouldn't say they are real common.I have owned a total of three.I kept one for myself.Mine were all for the floor-shift cars,but have seen a few for column-shift as well.It's hard to put a value on them.

 

That's not out of a '67.
Looks like '68-'69 to me.

 

I have 2 for a 66 or 67 .That isnt a 67..

 

Maybe a 68 Delmont. It has the screw on for the speedo
cable. Didn't they start using the snap on in 69? The
housing suggests a 68-69.
