140 cluster

I am not clear what year the GT went to 140 MPG gauge. My car was made in 5/88 and it appears mine IS stock.

that might not be 100% correct, i believe the MAF 88's from cali also had the 140spdo

btw, august 88 is an 88, the year cutoff is september

RE: 140 cluster

The previous speedometers were rather weak with only 85 mph. However, in 1989 the speedometer received an upgrade in the 5.0 Liter Mustangs with a new speedometer measuring 140 mph. Not all 1989 5.0 models received the upgraded speedometer because the stock of 85 mph speedometers were used up in some of the '89 models before the new version was used.
I got this info from the timeline part of this site. I guess I got lucky with my 89 as I have a 140 speedo.
