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

Some pictures show a rallye dash with round instruments and some show a sweeping speedometer dash. My '70 Coronet 500 has the sweeping dash. If the R/T dash is also sweeping is there a different top speed shown?
 
A rallye dash is a rallye dash. Sweep is sweep. With 2 different speedo flavors.
 
Rallye (Cool round gauges) optional on the 70 R/T although it was standard on the Super Bee. So the R/T could have had either from the factory. I don't know why for this weirdness but that's the way it was.
 
So the 500 had a 120 sweep and the R/T had a 150 sweep or a round 150? And, was the rallye exactly the same unit used in the Charger?
 
I thought that the rallye dash was optional on 70 Coronet R/T cars. The standard dash was just that, standard. I have seen them with both dashboards.

Well, not exactly... The standard dash in an R/T like a GTX is mostly the same as a standard dash except the 120mph sweep speedo is replaced with a 150mph sweep speedo...

The rallye dash was available as an option in the 70 Coronet R/T. It was not available on the 68/69 Coronet R/T cars. Click on the top link in the thread above.

I think the Rally gauges were either an option or part of a package, and the swept type gauges were standard with the R/T indicating up to 150 MPH and Non R/T 120 MPH.
The Round Rally gauges look cool, but when driving I like looking at the swept gauge layout better. It might be the placement of the turn signal indicators that bugs me on the Rally dash?
