Hi.

Wondering if anyone is familiar with the gauge cluster in the photo below? I found the pic in a Hemmings article on the ‘69 bird. Not 100% sure it’s from a ‘69, but I think it is and it looks to be set in the panel where the clock would normally be placed.

Anybody know if they’re any good and where to get them?

Thanks for any feedback....

Looks like classic industries will have them available soon,but not cheap!.
Looks like they will be available as a complete dash cluster assembly # 469501, $785.99.
they are a nice option and did work well if you had them originally equiped in the car .
Hope this helps.

I've looked for one for the past 3 years. All the reproductions are only sold as a set and no one selling a used one wants to break up their set. I finally said screw it and put a clock in there lol.

Known as " stacked gauges" in 69. They also came with an in dash tach in the left pod in the instrument panel. Someone started reproducing them some years back but I had heard they stopped production a couple years ago and I haven't heard any one else picking up the slack yet but if classic says they will have them in a couple months well it must be true. I think they were advertised for $695 last time.
I remember years ago I new a guy that paid $2400 for an original set and the spent another half of that having them refurbished. Of course that was before the reproduction ones came out.

Thanks for the replies on this. The gauges sound a bit $exe$, but I’ll keep a look out with Classic and see what turns up. Think I like the look of these better than putting a cluster of gauges on the centre console.

There’s quite a lot of talk in these forums about gauge accuracy too. Anyone know if this triple stack of gauges are reliable/accurate?

Accuracy of original gauges, hmmm. Well they get you in the ballpark but they are not a home run. The gauge needs to be electrically matched to the sender and after this long I don't believe anybody has original sending units. Maybe the newer reproduction units are more accurate just because they are new but because they most likely are as awful as any other aftermarket part sold these days I highly doubt they are perfect either. I'd guess you'd have to spend a lot of money on really good digital gauge sets to get any kind of accuracy.

The stacked gauges just look so friggin cool. IMHO.

Yeah. They do look good. Thanks for the advice
