Yes, all 1969 Firebirds had 160 mph speedos. Looking at your trim tag, looks like Code 72 72, which would be Carousel Red. The 8th digit in your VIN will tell you whether it was a V8 or L6. If the 8th digit is a '1', it's a V8. If it's a "6", then it's an L6.

No 12-bolts in the 67-69 Birds, but the Chevy 12-bolt is worth some money. I have a B-O-P 12-bolt (bolt in axles) in my 69, believed to have come from a 70 Trans Am.

A lot of parts from a 69 Camaro fit, but most are incorrect (visually) for a Firebird. Most of the 1969 Firebird parts are unique to the 69 Bird, so be prepared to start seeing parts catalogs that list a part for "67-68" or "70-up", and the special 1969 parts are usually at a premium.
My Mom is a stickler for the correct look, so not sure that 12 bolt will be staying. I came home last night and she was on her back on the trailer, under the car taking the traction bars off. LOL Threw em in a pile next to the trash can LOL.

Well just get rid of the aluminum cover and replace with a stock steel piece and it will look much better.
