I'm getting conflicting information on the 1970 Coronet R/T dash.

Interesting how in 69 they went to 1-15 numbers on the sweep speedometers on the GTX's and RT's.

I think 1968 and early 1969? I'm no expert on that stuff, bet my 1969 R/T hardtop has the 1-15 speedometer

All 68 straight sweep Speedo had 150 and ,69-70 had 15 not 150

All 68 straight sweep Speedo had 150 and ,69-70 had 15 not 150

I’ve seen 1968 gtx’s with both.

Wrong!! The change to short format numbers was earlier than mid 68... It was considered a safety issue cause the numbers were so squeezed together people were having trouble knowing what speed they were going.....
Yeah Right... Sorry Officer, I had no idea I was traveling 97 MPH my speedometer is Sooooo confusing....

I was only going 15......

I had an early dec 67 build 68 gtx 4 speed and it had the 0-15 speedometer layout. Also no dash reverse light as it was an inland shifter car.

and another thing.....don't the 1-15 have "lights panel flasher washer wiper" on the clear cover and not on the cast piece?

That sounds real familiar.

I dunno but if I ordered an upscale R/T and it came in with the sweep speedo and then went and looked at a budget Super Bee and it's standard rallye dash I would have been ticked.

Pretty sure I'd be happy with the 440 (standard in R/T) as opposed to the 383 in a budget Bee.
Pretty sure I'd be happy with standard bucket seats over bench seats.
Pretty sure if I ordered an upscale R/T, I'd have the Rallye Dash with standard tach as opposed to a budget Bee without tach.
Pretty sure if I had an R/T instead of a Bee, I would not be ticked over a dash.

But that's me.
