Yeah I saw these years ago for sale at Super Cheap Auto. Not sure if they still do them but they are bound to be available somewhere.

If you're a bit handy with a soldering iron Jaycar have a Digital Speedo/Speed alert kit that's not all that expensive.

I built a ghetto one, I think based on the same 1997 article they refer to.

Potentiometer, op-amp, hall effect sensor and frequency to voltage converter.

Although that's a pretty spiffy kit for only $60
