Default 140 speedo

I have been having a discussion about a 1968 Camaro I bought new, It was a 396-375 HP and came with the 140 speedo, I assumed all 375HP cars had this? But it seems some did not? Does anyone have any insight on this?

I don't believe any L-78 did with that RPO alone EXCEPT the 9737 COPO cars.It would/should also have the 13/16 front sway bar.Did you order this car?

No, I bought the car off the lot at Kenny Ross Chevrolet in Pittsburgh. There were several there with the same options. Mine was a Corvette Bronze. There was also a Daytona Yellow, Rally Green and a Lemans blue. They were all exactly the same, none had the bright trim on fenders, but had trim on the drip rails. All had 3.73 rears and m-21s. I can't remember size of sway bar. None had rally wheels, all had rims with dog dish hub caps.

Wasn't the 140 speedo only available only in 1969?
