NOS Dixco Hood Tach

[ChallengerHK]

Anybody want to hazard a guess for value on an NOS Dixco Hood Tach from Direct Connection, i.e., with the Pentastar? I saw one on ePay a few months back that went for $825, but I think it was used.

Cool looking Tach....................................

I have one but mine is a used piece i bought off e-bay for $150 about a year ago

I have never seen a NOS one.  Very nice!

In todays market my guess would be around $600 to $750.  If you find that one buyer who has to have it it may go well over a $1,000.

About what I figured. Thanks.

Thanks.............. are you going to use yours ?

I've decided to go with a TA hood, and my opinion is that the hood tach is the wrong shape to complement the TA scoop, so I think I probably wont use it.

I have pictures of a hood tach used on a T/A hood and i personally think it makes it look that little bit tougher looking.  just my

I'd love to see those if you have them electronically.

I have to have a look buddy.

Here is one for now..............

Well...doesn't look as bad as I'd thought it would. Thanks for the post. If you have more, one with the hood down would be great.

i could be wrong but these tacs are the same as pontiacs just a logo change. several years ago many were floating around new repros  pontiac  versions with a decal change . i just put a new one on a judge last summer . many mopar parts are  shared with other makes ,remember the thick wings .you could buy better ones from ford resto shops also the road lamps much cheeper from a 68 mustang just a snip snip on the bezzel and a 180.00 savings . just a thought .c

Pontiacs had their own unique hood tachs but Dixco was available on some models of Pontiac and was most commen for Mustangs and Camaros plus Mopars of course.

I know that Dixco also made the Rebel Machine hood tach. If I recall correctly, there were three different Dixco designs, and I think the one with the tri color face is the last one they released.

[hemiken]

Yes, and the early hood tachs had a basic black face with white numbers and the orange/red pointer.

I will have to have a look to see what other pictures i have.
