I'm working on a total restoration of a 67 firebird. I would really like to add rally gauges while I have everything entirely apart. Any leads on finding these would be appreciated.

Thanks but I think those must be from a Camaro?

Are they pretty close to original as far as looks go?

I'm using a set. I haven't looked at them close enough to notice any differences.

Do you have a link to the whole cluster? The only repro I have been able to find looks like just the 1 gauge and not the whole cluster with proper speedo.

Okay, my apologies, I thought you were talking about a '68. I'm not sure if they were available for '67. Hopefully someone with '67 expertise can chime in.

I could be wrong but I didn't think there was a difference from 67 to 68

All gauges for '67 had a black instrument face while those for '68 have steel blue instrument faces. This includes console clocks. I believe the pointers are also different. Orange for '67 and white for '68. Last there are the different speedo limits. 120 mph for '67 and 160 for '68.

Old projects, gone but not forgotten:
1967 FB 400, original CA car. After 22 years of work, trashed by the guy who was supposed to paint it. I had to sell it.
