Dealer Accessory Tach

[GTO_DON]

[ QUOTE ]
Your tach was issued as an accessory 1st in 1967 for same vehicles.
I think the one on ebay is actually the same as yours,being an #099,not a #716.
The #716 replaced it during late 1968 for '69.
I believe the grain on the case is the difference between the two.One smooth '67,the other is pebble '68-69.

Thats correct except the 68-69 one has the GM logo instead of the Bowtie. also. Thats a good price for that tach. I just sold one last week on ebay for 660.00 and a nos one these days goes for over 1000.00. You got a good deal on that tach.Most times Ive seen them used is on 69 Impala SS cars because no Factory Tach was offered.

I don't know if that's entirely true Don,although it is typical of them.
I have seen two of the #716 pebble grain tachs & both were without the GM logo.Both were NOS in the box.
I always thought as you,but after I saw those 2,I don't know if they just slipped through the cracks or..?

I remember the pebble grain tachs having the GM logo on top rather than the bowtie... The 1969 dealer accessory book shows the tach like mine, with the bowtie, in their list of accessories.. I knew the GM pebble grain ones were later, early 70s...

I didn't realize these tachs were pulling that kind of money now... I'm happy I grabbed another, used one, off ebay shortly after I bought the NOS one.. The used one is in VGC, not sure if it works. I paid around 200 bucks for it and have it in my Chevy display case... I bought it just to have it and a spare..

Thanks guys. Would have been perfect for my old 69 L72 Biscayne!

i was always under the impression that the tachs with the bowtie were for chevys and the tachs with the GM were for Buick or possibly Olds...?? I know I read that somewhere...I believe the tachs with the Chevy are supposedly worth more....just my .02

BTW...I recently posted a pic with the original box of my NOS ´bowtie´ accesory tach on the thread of my 67 Z Trans Am build. But cannot seem to copy it on here. I am arriving home from Brazil tomorrow, and I will check the date on the box...maybe that will lend a clue..??

I am missing the metal bracket from one of these tachs. Can one of you guys please help me out with dimensions so I can fabricate one myself? Thanks, Tony

[Mr. Chevy]

Tony, these are pictures and dimensions of an NOS one that I have. The black piece is a rubber gasket that would go underneath. Hope this helps... Rich
