that is what I
believe. If the car was built to ship overseas it would have
had a metric
odometer. Andre you may be able to help us on this one. Can't
remember but
the trim code will have some numbers designating it as an
export.

You are right about
exports to Europe,almost every european country have Kilometer
speedos.England is still mph I believe.When the American and Canadian car
companies exported cars they could have different headlights ordered and
different tires as alot of the Highways are very different to drive
on,unless you are in Germany and have cars cruise by you at 180 k per hour
{110 mph] or faster.The Chevelles built in Belgium could even have a Factory
metal sunroof ordered for them.I saw a brand new 1967 black over yellow
small block Chevelle in London in July 67 that had the Factory roof
installed.I chased the guy all around Piccadilly until I could speak to him
about his car,and I remember he paid $10,000 U.S. for it,because of the high
duties on non British built cars.It came from Belgium and it was a left hand
drive not a right hand drive model.They also built Camaro's in Belgium and the
roof was an option also.Rare cars!
