Default Digital C3 dash

Years ago there was a company selling a full digital dash for C3's. Does anyone know if these can still be purchased? If so where?

http://www.nordskogperformance.com has at least the center guages available for the C3. I thought they had a complete set available including speedo and tach but i didn't see it when I looked tonight. You could always email them for more info.

I think those are awesome, if I had the cash I'd get them in a heart beat. I always liked digital displays.

I agree the analog ones look better - the actual numbers don't have the same meaning as seeing a needle. What would be nice is if there was a way to put the new gauges in Chevy trucks into a C3:



Kind of hard to see but they look a lot like the 80-82 style, just modernized a bit.

The Nordskog ones do look better but they along with other one still look like calculator numbers. When they first hit the market and put in a lot of street rods, they looked horrible. At least the Nordskog add some excitement with theirs as it looks a little like the flat dash C4s.

My opinion: Analog is much cooler.

They have the complete setup with tach and speedo and are considerably cheaper than dakota dash. I saw them when I was considering this option last year.

I agree. I considered the digital option for a while, and decided that I preferred the analog gauges. I'm going to install the Autometer white face gauges in my '76. I think they will look with the firethorn interior.

Screw the gauges, I'd like the whole dash!
