it was an Ford Motorsports Catalog item, many dealers swapped them in to get around the stupid 85mph speedo law

I know my '90 GT vert has a 140 speedo in it, and since I bought it from an older lady (in her sixties) the original owner, I am assuming she never changed it, so it must be factory or at least dealer installed. I think that all GT's had the 140 speedo someone correct me if I am wrong.
