was there ever a 3.07 100mph speedometer?

i have five different speedos here and still not quite the one i would like. i know 3.07s only came in 81-84 turbodiesels and that 81-82s were limited to 85 mph. were 83-84 both only 125mph?

i have a 2.88 diff and 195/60s so 3.07 will be about right; i prefer a 100mph scale as i have now. did that ever exist?

The only 3.07 speedometers were the 85mph and 125mph ones like you stated.

danke. 85mph kind of makes more sense, but it looks so lame... does match my bumpers though...
