It's a Firebird Speedometer in a Camaro dash insert, or possibly an entire firebird dash insert, as they were very similar in 67.

Welcome to Team camaro. Are the numbers on it level in relation to the ground or is the base of the number aimed at the needle shaft?
A proper 67 Camaro speedo and tach aim at the shaft. I have a 68 speedo from a firebird that has level numbers on it.

Were the 160's common in Firebirds or was that a Trans Am thing?

I had a 68 firebird with the OHC 6cyl and it had a 160 mph speedo.

Trans Am was introduced in 69.
