    yes that is correct. it was one cluster setup for which the components could be interchanged based on your car‘s accessories - left side (tach/idiot light gauge cluster/clock) - right side (speedo, with or without trip meter) - center (gas gauge) however the wiring (9 pin vs 13 pin...

    1971 Instrument Bezel CLOCK Lens

    FYI Ohio Mustang Supply (Ohiomustang.com) has the repop lens cover (with trip odometer) listed on its website (currently out of stock). I bought one last year. Is nice, but the trip odometer reset button doesn’t look like the stock one (if you want the concourse look). It’s currently...

    $20k-$30k for a paint job?

    I am in the $50k+ club as well ( that’s Canadian $ tho) from a high end shop that specializes in mustangs just outside of Calgary, a few years ago. (the shop set a world record at the 2022 Scottsdale Barrett Jackson on a Shelby GT500 Eleanor build that sold for US$450k...that I heard was bought...

    1971 Instrument Bezel CLOCK Lens

    I have seen a few new repop speedo/fuel/ tach/idiot light bezel lenses in the past for sale, with the hole for the trip meter, but I have never seen one with the hole for the clock. I think from time to time some mfg does a special limited run when there is demand...but the clock in that bezel...

    71 Mach 1 paint color choice help

    For what it’s worth, my 72 was originally Wimbledon white. After the body shop took the car down to bare metal, I was given the choice of paint colour and after some thought, went with 1967-68 brittany blue. (when I started the bodywork process, my original thought was to redo in Wimbledon...

    LED dash lights...opinions?

    There are a number of lights behind the center console as follows: 2 for the center tri cluster gauge (twist and pull bulb holders) 1 for the heater/Air conditioning controls (I think this one should be replaced while heater bezel is in the car... without removing the center bezel this is a push...

    Cuda vs Mustang dealer film

    If you believe the “promotional spin“ of the ad (obviously made to sell the Cuda) it Looks like we have an inferior car...although there appears to be way more mustangs around than Cuba’s after 50 years....which should tell you something. Although I like the look of the cud’s, My perception is...

    Tire prices - comment

    Oh ya, when they pulled the old tires off the rims, 2 of the 4 tires separated...I got real luck that it didn’t happen at highway speeds.

    Tire prices - comment

    Lol...my car was parked for about 28 years before I had the body and pain’t work completed in ~March 2020. The tires were off the car during the storage period and maybe had 10,000 miles on them (tread was awesome). Last fall (2021) was driving to a car show in another city about an hour away...

    Light for heater control panel

    Me thinks you are right....there should be a light bulb and socket that goes into the back of the heater control. I couldn’t see them not putting one in, for any reason. It seems to me that somewhere along the way, a prior owner modified/removed the light bulb. I replaced this bulb with an LED...

    Windshield Washer Pumps

    For what it is worth, In Alberta, Canada we have old car safety inspections (especially if the car is bought out of the province of Alberta) for new registrations. I would bet that if the car didn’t have a working wiper water pump and wipers (and the inspector caught it) that you would be forced...
