The trip odometers were a rarer option. I've seen one, but it was on an early 60's Beetle. You may have quite a search to find another.

Yep, trip odos turn a $30 used speedo into a $300-$500 speedo pretty dang quick! Good luck! Overhauls on a trip speedo are normally about $100 over a standard speedo too. Crying or Very sad They're few and far between.
