Instrument Services Inc. (Google them) can fix yours or you can get the quartz kit and do it yourself. They also advertise on E-Bay. The complete kit, which includes an instructional DVD is $75 including USPS Priority Shipping. I just ordered one for my 65. This is the first clock I wasn't able to repair. It was really screwed up so I'm going quartz and to he11 with the NCRS

I used redline. they did outstanding work and were very reasonably priced. The clock looks and functions like new.

Are the electro-mechanical internals similar or the same between generations? Binnie77 from the C3 side of the forum repairs/converts clocks.

I used Instrument Services to convert to quartz on my '64 Riviera and on the rear clock for my '59 Cadillac Series 75 Limousine. I didn't just have the conversion but had them both cosmetically restored. They came back to me working accurately and looked great, in the case of the stainless & silver-faced Cadillac clock, it looked like a piece of fine jewelry.

I used ISI on Fleabay, they sent the kit and instruction DVD to me in Australia for the 65, simple to fit, easy job great results.

The clock is attached to the dash by two pins that go through two holes, In the back are two clips that hold the clock in. Just remove the two side panels ( or actually I think it was easier for me to remove the glove box to get to them.). You squeeze the pins and pull them off then the clock will come out of the front of the dash. Obviously you disconnect the electric connection first with the battery disconnected.

I too have had success with Redline. I have also used Corvette Instruments many times. Roger does a stand up job.
