68 speedo for column shift 3 speed auto

Looking for a '68 Speedometer for a cutlass/442 for a 3 speed automatic. I am pulling the Jetaway out and replacing with a Turbo 400. '69 faces are different. Should look like pic. Thanks, any help appreciated.

Don't the 68's also have the screw on speedo cable to the back as well?
I have a few I can check.

That's a two speed Brett.


It's going to have to come from a wagon or a 442. The TH400 wasn't available in the Cutlass in 68, only the 400 or 455. I've never looked at the big car speedo's. Are they close?


What's the difference in the faces between 68 & 69 (I know the speedo cables are different)?

Here is a pic of a 69 speedo. The line at the numbers is shorter. I don't really care about the speedo condition as long as the face is nice. I will transplant it to mine to keep the mileage correct.

OMG....I need to take a nap, that ones from a 70.

Perhaps I can interest you in a nice Clock, that actually is from a 68?

I've got this one. Pretty decent face, couple of faint spots on the '110' '120' where the white paint could be carefully touched up. Missing the needle and the lower shifter plastic mechanism is broken. $40 plus the shipping.
