Full 6 Gauge Instrument System includes new reproduction bezel for 1965*- 66 Ford Mustang.
*Fits 1965 Applications with Pony or GT Interiors and all 1966 Models.
This system is engineered specifically for the first-generation 1965 and 1966 Ford Mustang (explicitly fitting 1965 models with the upgraded Pony or GT interiors and all standard 1966 models that share the round 5-gauge bezel layout).
Core Specifications & Features
The Bezel Layout ("GT"): The "GT" in the part number means the kit ships completely pre-installed into a brand-new, factory-accurate reproduction GT-style black camera-case finish dash bezel, eliminating the need to modify your original plastic cluster.
Display Tech ("VFD3"): Unlike their newer full-color graphical screens, the VFD3 series uses highly classic, ultra-bright Vacuum Fluorescent Displays. These are digital numerical readouts known for exceptional visibility in direct sunlight and long-term durability.
Color Configuration ("Z"): The "-Z" suffix signifies that the kit features user-selectable dual-color backlighting options, allowing you to alternate between a vibrant Blue or Teal illumination layout.
Included Digital Gauge Monitors
The system completely modernizes the instrument cluster by replacing the analog needles with exact digital readouts:
Speedometer: 0–255 MPH
Tachometer: 0–17,500 RPM
Oil Pressure: 0–99 PSI
Water Temperature: 0–300°F
Fuel Level: 0–99%
Voltmeter: 8–17 VDC
Integrated Message Center & Performance Tracking
Tucked within the layout is a solid-state digital message center operated via an included remote pushbutton, which tracks standard and high-performance metrics:
Odometer & dual trip meters
0–60 MPH acceleration timer
1/4-mile clock and trap-speed recall
High-speed and peak RPM history recalls
Kit Inclusions
Sensors: Dakota Digital includes all required solid-state sending units (water temperature, electronic oil pressure, and a cable-replacing pulse generator speed sensor) to complete the installation.
