The Shelby Cobra (aka AC Cobra) had a reverse sweep Speedo, but the original's were Smiths gauges...

I don't think that they will be that rare...my guess is that they would be targeted at the Cobra replica market...An Aussie Cobra replica builder would love em....

I like the look - something different.  

If I can't read a speedo from right to left instead of left to right, what hope have I got adjusting to different fuel gauges in different cars with empty at the right/left/up/down...

heres some mindless trivia if you a driving a late model car that isnt your own.
The fuel gauge will have a little bowser on it with either a nozzle or an arrow. The side of the bowser that the nozzle or arrow is on is pointing to the side of the car where the fuel filler is
