64 gauges are the best looking in my humble opinion. You should definitely look at restoring yours as NowhereMan has suggested. Will likely be far cheaper than finding NOS gauges. I sent my gauges to Redline Gauge & Clock Repair. Very happy with their work.

Do they have a set fee or is it based on what needs to be restored?
Yeah i hear nothing but good about Redline gages restoration services. Funny my place up north is about 50 houses down from Redline in Greenbush MI, just north of Oscoda! It's a small business out of a pole barn just off the road & I always go by there. If I ever see anyone ill stop & introduce myself as and let them know their reputation preceeds them.

I'm very happy with mine and they were good people to deal with. It's been a while but I think they wanted to evaluate your gauges first to see what condition they are in. On the odometer they give you the option of keeping existing miles, or resetting to zero. I had my clock converted to quartz movement while it was there.

I can't remember for sure what the fee structure was, but it was based on what is needed and then I think they have fixed prices for their services. They will also test your gauges and fix or calibrate them.
Several other places out there do good work. Lots of threads on this topic.
I wanted rebuilt original gauges for my cars. I didn't want the GM restoration gauges because of quality issues. I had some NOS gauges, but not enough. I bought 6 sets of restored original 65 to 67 small gauges from Redline. All 24 gauges were perfect both mechanically and cosmetically. Thanks. Roy
A couple of places I have used and been very pleased with are D&M Restoration out of Greenville, SC and Corvette Specialties of MD West out of Palm Dessert, CA. Both do terrific work in my opinion and I would use either of them again.
I would stop by Corvette Specialties tent at Corvettes at Carlisle each year. When looking for a replacement clock for my '63 a while back, I decided to see if they had something as mine was just too far gone in my opinion to save. The didn't have any cores and assured me it would not be inexpensive to buy if I did find one. They asked to look at the one I had - but I didn't have it with me. Then they suggested I send it to them and let them look it over. What they returned did not look like the clock I sent them. Unfortunately I didn't save any before pictures, but only when viewed from the back does the original condition somewhat reveal itself.
