SD! SD! This is in Finland. And you're in Finland! And it's a 1975, so that means that its speedometer has a good chance of being an export version having a 1975-1976 200kph speedo, which will look like the following but have a big 0 on end: Here's a 1974 version (with small 0 on the end)  from bluesmobiles.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=details&thread=418&post=2363I'm looking for one of these speedos for my Monaco Museum of Amazement. It's hard to tell exactly what this car has: from the link you posted. But if it has a 200kph speedo, maybe something like the following would work: I send you a speedo that is more available in the USA, like this: And let's say you offer him a trade: 1) 100 mph speedo 2) and something for his trouble in exchange for his 200kph speedo Maybe that would be worth his time in swapping speedos in his car. He's selling the car, so he may not care what speedo is in it, as long as it has one. And then I offer you a trade: 1) the 100 mph speedo to trade him 2) cash and/or some monaco / blumo parts you might want Something to think about; it would be a cool international parts trading story if all worked out. I haven't had any success convincing people in other countries to trade speedometers with me. Possibly with you being in the same country, an offer from you won't sound as strange. thanks, arthur |

I texted the seller, he doesn't remember is it mph or kmh, but checks it out. He also mentioned that it doesn't work.

Well, maybe not for him, but it might make him more interested in a trade! I just got a 75-77 140mph speedo in trade. If you're close to him, and you were interested in a quick blumo upgrade, you could drive over there, put your civilian MPH Monaco speedo in his car, and put my cop 140mph speedo in your car, and you'd be the official mobile speedo swap unit (Finnish branch) for the Monaco Museum of Amazement. Well, I'm just trying to be funny. Thanks for checking into it; it will be interesting to see what happens. thanks, arthur |

Let's see what happens when he finds out which one it is. This guy lives in all wrong direction, so it's a mailing thing. + your extra 140 speedo is going to this car(if it has the 20o version and is willing to trade, I've never met the owner but can ask when I see him)  |

I remember that guy; I was wondering how it looked under the hood. from from www.bluesbrotherscentral.com/forum/topic/6101-bluesmobile-sightings/page__st__520#entry112454The youtube link lists it as a 1974. So you might have found a lead on the 1974 20o KPH speedo, AND a 1975-1976 200 KPH speedo. A blumo owner seems a good candidate for a 140 police speedo swap! All sounds great, thanks. |

$4,670 USD. What a beast this Plymouth is   It says, "Maailmanlopun Bluesmobiili isolohkolla" which seems to translate to, "End of the World Blues Mobile isolohkolla" lol. End of the world Bluesmobile. So it's a 2012 model ? ;D |

Someone should tell google translator that "isolohkolla" means "with a big block", small block is of course pikkulohko.
