C3 Head Up Display Install
I've been wanting a Head Up Display (HUD) for my 1980 for a few years. I found a couple GPS models are now available. They use GPS to calculate speed.
Here's a link to the HUD install I did on my 1980.

I had no idea
I definitely need one for my 1972 Suburban.
With the gear changes, lift kit and big tires I have no idea how fast I'm going.

Would be nice to flush it into the dash pad
BTW - looks like you were either accelerating and the GPS hadn't caught up yet, or your speedo was def. off a bit.

I was accelerating. The HUD speed does match match the Nav system speed, so it appears to very accurate.
