I found this on a European website for sale. Its a 64 American, but what really stuck out to me was the gauge cluster. My gauges are destroyed. Someone years ago beat them with a hammer, so this would be a really nice upgrade. Has anyone ever seen one like this? Is this something custom, or is there a company that makes this?

I like those gauges! Mine is a 64 American also but the gauge is about 10 inches long and has a needle. The readings on it are in single digits too so 2=20 mph. I'm interested in what you learn about it.

I went home and looked at my dash after I posted the picture. It is possible to do this with the current design. You could get an overlay milled out of aluminum. To get the larger 3-3/8" speedometer/tachometer gauges into the dash opening you would have to cut out the bottom of the current cluster opening to fit around those gauges. In the picture it appears they made a custom bezel that fits around the gauge so it will fit flush to the face of the raised section of the bottom of the dash. Or it is possible they cut and filled the raised portion to fit tightly around the gauges too. Neither way looks easy to accomplish.
