Default 1968 firebird gauge cluster 190 mph

Just pick up a 1968 firebird basket case in the part I found a 190 mph gauge cluster. I know they have 120 /160 but 190?

190 kph is approximately equal to 120 mph (118 to be exact), so it's most likely a kilometer speedometer.

If it ever gets the PHS run on it - will probably be an Export Car - that really was actually Exported.
And eventually imported back.

When active service men/women or their families bought new cars through the discount program - they were billed through the Export Account in NY,NY .
But 99.9% of those cars never left the country.

Kilo Speedo means it left the continent , or was intended to.
Fairly cool // very unique item

I'd be curious then about a couple things. The 67s were 120 mph, 68 and 69 used 160 mph, all 3 years had unique design. So either this is a 67 in kph, or the 67 and 68 used the same 190 kph unit?
