The 39 had a really cool looking dash and gauges, but I can't use them!


Not completely accurate. biggrin

There are a few companies out there that specialize in taking a vintage cluster, installing modern stepper motor movements in it and restoring the gauge faces with modern scales in the original colors and fonts ie your 212 deg temp gauge would come back looking identical except it would max out at say 230 degrees. Same with the speedo, 120 MPH instead of the 80 or 100 it is now.

Not cheap but another plus is that the Magnum ECM could likely drive them too.

There's another one I can't remember that always had full page ads in some of the hot rod/street rod type magazines. They were in California.
