    I recently discovered an old pontiac tach that I had thrown in a box of parts many years ago. Anyone know what vintage it might be?

  4. One of the few things I didn't get with my '64 Gran Prix, the tach on the console. Yours is probably 63-4-5-6 in there. Should be big $$$, you about found a box of gold there.

    Thanks for the info. on the tach. It's not in such great shape and I haven't even tried to see if it works. It is like the one on ebay but with no cup.

    Pontiac Slim, if it works I don't know what would be a fair price for it. As I said it's condition is nothing to bragg about.

    Hey... check it out & see if it works. I have no idea as to value. I was just interested as something else to put on the wall with rest of myPontiac stuff, not a big deal to me

    Yup, mid 60s, probably out of a full size car. There were slight variations from one year to the next, but I don't know the exact details. Without the back cup you can mount it in a panel under the dash like I did:

    I'd think the big cars used these from '63-66, was mounted on the LH side of the dash. Different iterations per year, some had adjustable redline control. The vacuum gauge was console mounted, came standard with Roto-Hydro, assume you could probably order with other transmission combos.
     
  9. You are all close but it is for 1962-1964 full size. 1965 was different.
    Not rare either, there seems to be plenty of them on the internet. The 1965 and 1966 version is a different story and are worth much more.
    That tach should have an adjustable red line, that is what the knob is for.
    Hope this helps you.

    Thanks Steve. It does have the adjustable red line needle, it's just not red anymore.
