Original 1970 Dodge Challenger Standard Gauge Assembly
« on: December 17, 2012 - 07:49:04 PM »
Original 1970 Dodge Challenger standard gauge assembly.  This is a one year only assembly for the 1970 Dodge Challenger. It appears that the speedometer is correct for a 70 model year Challenger and the fuel/temp/alt gauges are correct for 71-4 Challenger and 70-4 Barracuda/Cuda. 

It was disassemblied, cleaned, clear lense was polished, then reassemblied.  All of the screws are original. It's missing the clock block off plastic plug, they are not hard to find, otherwise a clock could be installed.  Very nice and clean assembly.  $75

I will double box this item when shipping, it will be insured with delivery confirmation.

Any questions or need additional pictures just let me know.

Email Kenei@comcast.net

Thanks!

The speedo looks right but the other gauges I belive are 71-74? 70 Challenger gauges say "gasoline", "Alternator", "temperature" and the font and art work is a little different.
At least mine are on my 70 Challenger? Maybe it's a late 70 thing?

This looks confusing to some, but I know my clusters well. THis is a nice dash here. This is a 70 CHALLENGER/71 BARRACUDA SPEEDOMETER. All of the parts are mountd in a 70 CHALLENGER GAUGE HOUSING. Fuel, Temp & ALT gauge are 70-74 Barracuda & 71-74 Challenger. 70 Challengers have GASOLINE, TEMPERATURE, & ALTERNATOR on the lower part of the gauge. The needle is skinnier & not pointed on 70 Challengers. However, these will work & fit any e-body, BUT the housing is different due to the warning light holes are reset-deeper on the housing, which allows the 1-year only ribbed 70 Challenger outer ribbed bezel on it. If you put this into a 70-74 Cuda or 71-74 challenger, it will fit as well, BUT the warning lights will be slightly dim, & it will reflect light around inside the cover into the clear lens & look crappy. Not cutting down this cluster, but I have had 100's of clusters in the past & still some now & know them well. I once had a 72 Barracuda winter beater back in 1984 (rusted & crashed some but parts car that spring '85) & it had a nice ralley dash in it back then, I pulled it out & installed a standard dash cluster from a 70 challenger & it worked just fine, with some rewireing of course to the harness which had some flaws in it. Now, If you think the clocks are the same, wait! there is 2 different standard dash clocks also. I'll find & post a few pics of that as well for all of us to see, if you don't know the difference! I have tons of pictures of standard dashes & ralleys tucked into my files, so if anyone needs a picture for referance, just ask me!

Thanks,  I just want the speedo for my 70 Challenger.  I knew the other gauges were not correct for a 70 Challenger. The rest I will most likely find good homes for with members on here.
