Original Slat Grill speedo for sale

Post by 7777kx » Sun Mar 25, 2018 6:12 am

I have an original Moto-meter long needle Slat Grill speedo for sale.
It is in need of full restoration, but the internals are in pretty good shape.
I know original speedo prices have taken a hit since the repro versions hit the market, so am happy to listen to any decent offer.
This is the proper part for that exacting restoration.
I have detailed pictures which are available to any interested party and i will reduce the size of them to try and post on this forum.
Many thanks Alan

My apologies for not posting a price for my speedo, but i genuinely have no idea to its value........
I just wanted it to go to an decent Slat owner who wants the real thing and is honest enough to pay a fair price for it,
My own Slat has a genuine speedo and i wanted to enable another owner to have the same opertunity.
Many thanks Alan

So....as soon as your "auction" goes up on the gee....you get PMs with different offers and you take the highest one, right?

Sounds like an auction to me.

THIS is why you MUST post a price to begin with or the G503 turns into Ebay for jeeps!!!!!

Sell it to Olaf, at least he will restore it and offer it for sale for a posted PRICE instead of someone buying it and flipping it on Ebay for a few hundred dollars profit!

Again my apologies to the forum users who think the selling of my speedo was being done as an auction...it was not my intention.
I genuinely did not have an idea as to its value, hence i was quite open in saying so.
The speedo sale has been agreed with a US based forum member and despite this, many of the kind enquiries i have had put their offer price in a similar area to the price i accepted. All that being said, what it sold for was well below what i paid for it, when repro's were unavailable.
The best thing is, it is going to another Slat owner who will restore it and use it in his Jeep, for which i am very pleased.
Thank you again for your interest.
