Nope, that's not the number!

then it has to be #3-280. that translates to about 174 in mph. i initially used the standard 160 mph to obtain my first answer. apparently the designers weren't thinking a linear translation.

Is that the "initial" metric speedometer?  It doesn't coincide with the mph type of speedometer for early Avantis.  It is more in line with the change in MPH Avanti speedometers.

To the best of my knowledge there was only one metric speedometer, made by Stewart-Warner, for the '63-'64 Studebaker Avanti.
