Re: [Chrysler300] 200 MPH Speedometer

["Jean-Yves Chouinard" <jymopar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a 62 non-letter 300 that was originaly sold in France and it had a 200 speedo. It was 200 KMH, although the KMH was not written anywhere on the speedo.
Canadian cars only started to have metric speedos in the mid to late 70's, so a Canadian early 60's car would have been in MPH just like the American cars. Those 200KMH speedos were just for Europe, maybe Australia too??
If a 300F , G , H or J sold to Europe, I wonder if it had a KMH speedo? If so, it would have read 240 KMH ! The equivalent of 150MPH !
 But my guest is the "bean counters" at Chrysler would not have allowed for a special 240 KMH speedo for such a limited production "export letter car". Right? Maybe "export" letter cars had a 200 KMH speedo too...Anybody ever saw one??

  Has anyone else seen the 62 Astrodome w/ the 200 mph speedometer on eBay? 

  It's item # 380222575061. 

  Were any of these actually produced or is this a fake?
