1973 Dodge Polara Custom Blue - $1800

[1978 NYB]

I have a very nice B-body oil pressure gauge in a '68/9 instrument cluster that is in the position where you usually see a blank, clock or the tach. I have never seen another one like it. I'll have to dig it out and take a pic. I'm thinking it'll end up in my RR.

I had a ralleye dash in my 69 Bee and it had an oil pressure gauge. It was a round gauge. Are you talking about a rectangular oil pressure gauge for your RR?

That's really cool and I"d love to see a pic. I'd be interested for my R/T if you decide not to use it

 

[detmatt]

Here it is, my best guess is that it is some sort of fleet thing.

 

[tallhair]

"I need one" now

 

[detmatt]

This gauge is too is scarce, I will end up using it in my RR but it is kool isn't it?

 

[1978 NYB]

Very cool.....I've never seen one of those before.

Awesome cool. I think I've only seen one other but i'm gonna start looking. Help me keep an eye out if you don't mind.

It will go in the R/T and I'll put my Dad's old SW on the column if it still works, or use my Sun Super tach II if not

It had a 400 in it 195 HP is way off the rating was much higher so insurance will be cheap it has an Electronic ignition no points it still had no cats 400 was underrated engine I had 73 Newport it moved no way it had 195 HP

 

[polara71]

Yeah, the 400 and the 360 were both underrated ....

Let's face it. They made ALL good ones* right up until they built their first 4 or V6. Down the ter-let immediately after that.

As I recall, there was a tachometer option available for one of the Dodge/Plymouth models seen in the photoshopped picture. Although I have never seen one installed in a car, I remember a few years back that a NOS tachometer sold on eBay went for some ridiculous price in excess of $500.

 

[1978 NYB]

I remember that being for sale too.

 

[moonrunner1972]

I wound up spending $100 on an oil pressure gauge about a decade ago so I guess the $500 price isn't unreasonable considering the rarity of the item. Still, I am a cheapskate and would have to seriously consider spending so much of my hard earned money for roughly the price of a junkyard big block.

 

[polara71]

The NO tach for a 70 Fury sold for almost a grand. The fellow that built that blue 440 4 speed 71 polars bid it to over 800 and was immediately outbid.

 

[commando1]

Has this $1,000 tach shown up since?
As a flip or in a car?

Not that I know of..... The Fury GT guys have cash. So did that polara guy seems the GT boys have deeper pockets

 

[Fratzog]

Pricier than the console tachs on 66-68 but not by much. From what I recall the Fury tach is fairly non-descript and you would almost overlook it in the dash.

 

[polara71]

It goes in the clock spot....yeah, if you weren't looking for it you may miss it
