If the tack cable is original and works I am very interested in that...PLEASE let me know....

You got a good high price item for just the cluster alone.... is it a SHP tech (6200 RPM Red Line) or a L-75 Red Line.... The SHP go for a little more, but it really depends upon condition...

Poor condition but good SS cones, original meters with brush marks starting around $600. Good Condition I would say around $800. PLUS...

Remember the panel has to be crack free....

Let me know about the tack cable....THANKS

Default Pics of Cluster.

This item is dated Oct 2, 1962 and the numbers read 640575? and 6405714. The cables are intact and turning one end turns the other. It WILL be offered soon to the forum for the average estimate I get here . Thanks Dean

Thanks Eb , 5300 rpm redline. What are the brush marks and does it have them from the pic I just attached? I will GIVE you the tach cable after the cluster is sold if not wanted/needed by the cluster buyer. DEan

Looks better than mine! I've been afraid of that while-im-at-it disease to pull mine out and fix the odometer.

Its missing a retainer ring...holds the light tubes in there.

Many thanks...I just lost point on a NCRS judge for having a repro tack cable... The brush marks are on the cones inside each gauge. In 64 the "bright cones" were eliminated. The brush marks are left over from polishing them to a satin finish. Some folks actually polished them and took these brush marks away. The best I can tell from the photos is you have them there....its a satin type finish. The panel looks good....
