Retro Gauges for my 69 Z28????

[Survivor 69/Z28]

Steve,
Sorry about that. Yes they are Dixco. For real, these are pretty decent? I do not have a problem with them really if they are good period correct gauges. But the Camaro guru that looked over my car did not care for them. Hmmmm.....
Thanks Steve!


WOW WOW WOW
Sam, your Chevelle is unreal looking. I love the white interior!

I think yours are "period correct" for the late 1970s and that may be what Jerry is referring to. The early style SW or Sun chrome-rimmed gauges would be "period correct" for 1969. The set you have remind me of what I had in my Z11 in 1977. Keep 'em and enjoy the car as is.

Jerry's opinion is just that, certainly not a marching order! Those are Dixco gauges, and were not Yenko installed in the Yenko Deuce Novas in '70. So, they are certainly period correct for your car. The SW greenlines are period correct as well, and would also look very nice installed in your car.

Thanks guys! You are all saving me $$$ by your comments. What is funny is that they match the dash extremely well. The silver around the faces is a lot like the silver around the speedo and such. But anyway, thanks for the help!!!!!!!

I would tend to agree with leaving the Dixco set where they are. The Sun and SW gauges are probably more 'period correct' and maybe even more trustworthy overall, but the Dixco units are certainly acceptable. (Just another humble opinion.)

BTW, Great Car.

I think a set of modern Sunpro's would be better, take those Dixcos out and send them to me.

Just correcting my typo! These gauges were indeed installed by Yenko in the Deuces. The Sun Pro gauges would also look good!

No kidding, well that is pretty cool. These exact gauges were in Yenco 70 Nova's? Or another style Dixco gauge?
So are these valuable?

[camarojoe]

Yep.

Rare? I guess it depends on where you look...at my house they're rather plentiful.
