http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0254940001. I did not get back from New Mexico in time to bid on this one and it went far FAR too cheap. This is a factory optional setup from a big truck. Did one of you guys get it? Hawkrod

Crap! I didn't see that one either. Better double check/update my e-bay searches.

Wow!

That thing definitely went for a good deal for someone.

Apparently this was listed under the "Vintage Cars and Trucks, Subcategory "gauges" -- not a search category that most Slicksters would probably "monitor" (at least I don't). You would almost just have to stumble across something like this, and be thankful you did.

I don't know about anybody else but I don't search specific categories, it cuts down the results too much. I just search in auto parts "(1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966) +(F100, F250, F350)" If you use the parenthesis it will find anything within these groups say like a 1965 F100 item or a 1962 F250 item etc... This way you get everything that was listed that relates. The only thing is you need to change your search default from best match to either newly listed or ending soonest or you may never see some stuff. The new "best match" system sucks because small guys stuff stays at the end and if you have 30 pages you will never see it all and so little guys stuff never gets any bids. This one makes me mad because I assumed it would go high because those tachs are so rare and they are the same as 427 Galaxies, Shelby's and such and the tach guys can put a new face on them and recalibrate them to make 8K 427 Galaxie tachs or whatever out of them.

Here is the same style tach restored by a tach shop:

Here is an original Cobra with one in it:

I saw it but held off on bidding...

I was going to bid on it simply to get the vacuum (i think it was) that matches the speedo. But this gauge had WHITE dashes above the numbers. I have recently seen the same gauges (Vac., Tach, air Pressure) with GREEN, YELLOW and RED dashes above the numbers. There was one very recently that was listed on E_Bay (NOS) for $119. It was real nice but I didn't have the cash for it. I'll be looking for the "multi-colored" ones.
does anyone have any info on these two variations?
