Is this an ultra rare 160mph speedo designed for the never produced street version of the F-100XL or is this thing calibrated for kilometers and the seller either doesn't know or isn't saying? I'm too dumb to figure it out for myself!

The XL's speedo only goes to 100.
I wonder with a 61 part # where in the world this was meant for, maybe south africa had KPH in 61, but Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Oz didn't.
I know Carpenter has these, new, for just one arm, a leg, and 2 firstborn children. I might just bid on that one.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's set up for "klicks." The graduations are identical to where they'd be at the same speed on a MPH version. 50MPH=80 KPH. Seems pretty simple; same cable and gearing means Ford could export them anywhere and only change the speedo face plate.
It sure looks like it's in great shape though. It might be worth my while to move to Canada just so I'd have a reason to install it!

Now if only a CC style sweep speedo like that would come along...

If it starts to rain, they'll tax the splash.
If you want to fish, they'll tax the bass.
If you plant a yard, they'll tax the grass.
If you don't play nice, they'll fine your *$#!
