'73, Q code, Mach1.

Available as of June of 2017. It's pricy but it's the only one available. I ordered a set from one of their Canadian distributors. https://www.americanautowire.com/view-product/1971-73-ford-mustang-classic-update-kit-2/ Can you confirm the tach/speedo diameter as well as the fuel, volt, temp...

Thanks for the heads up. Ill be sending him an e-mail shortly.

Looks nice. If I get desperate I may go that way. I'm currently in contact with Dakota Digital about a custom set-up using the digital VFD3-71M-CNT carcass but installing/manufacturing analog gauges similar to their VHX style gauges. The cost will be eye watering, particularly with todays...

Anyone know the dimensions of the Tach/Speedo?

Cost isn't an issue, time is (I know that sounds strange). I know that Midlife does an awesome job from what I've read here, I just don't want to lay the car up while I have the old harness ripped out, sent across the border to the US, repaired, returned to Canada and installed on the Mach1. I'd...

I was looking at these  gauges. the problem is that it makes the console gauges useless and I'm trying to keep the car as stock looking as possible using OEM style and size gauges. I'm not interested in modifying/creating new brackets to fit aftermarket gauges.

Thanks. I'll take a read when I've got a spare minute.

Good day to all. It's been many years since I last posted here but circumstances have necessitated my return. Recently my wife, Mach1 Mama, past away from Cancer leaving me her beloved '73 Q code Mach 1. Since she bought and re-built her baby (see Travails of the Trailer Queen) I've only driven...

At the risk of being banned and going waayyy off brand and it's more of an exotic car than muscle car take a look at the '68 - '78 Lamborghini Espada. The resemblance is uncanny.

Absolutely, it makes a good lead car.

As promised here are pictures of one of our club members ’71 orange coupe. It currently has 302 but it will be replaced by a 351W. I’ll post the power numbers when he gets it on an engine dyno. He will be making to trip to Charlotte next April.

@Don65Stang. Thanks for the award, it's much appreciated.

Actually, to tell you the truth wearing a "skirt" has it's advantages, particularly if you're going "Regimental". I beleive it's the American equivalent of going "Commando". ;)
