Hi

I have this speedometer and is not sure what it is from. Is it from a bus and does it have any value?

Thanks in advance...

Does the speedometer connection on the back side travel straight outward?
If the answer is Yes, it's for a Bus.

Angled is for a Beetle.

Bus style

Yes, it has some value.
I don't know how much.
There are some other Barndoor speedometers for sale in the classifieds right now, look through the list for ones that match:

Hi EverettB

Thanks for the prompt reply.
The speedometer travels straight through, so it must be an early bus speedo:-)
