the gauges work and I also have a tach wiring harness, thanks!

68GMCCustom · 01-29-2008, 11:23 AM

its only worth about $25.....and yes, I'll take it!

72BlazerWA · 01-29-2008, 11:25 AM

well I saw a set with just tach go for well over 200 on ebay, maybe the vaccumm made it more valuable? and also the fact its in great shape..?

**too much stuff** · 01-29-2008, 11:30 AM

I would guess around $250-$300 depending on the printed circuit and general condition.

I was just playing around.

There was one on eBay that sold recently for something like $550+/- Someone started a thread on it, WOW it was crazy but he got the money for it. So put it on eBay and I bet you get $500+ for it

**too much stuff** · 01-29-2008, 02:16 PM

The one on e-bay also had a speedwarning if we are talking about the same one. That will drive the price up quite a bit.. I will still say $250-$300 depending on condition. Also, the vacuum wasn't available in the smaller pickups,(c-10, c-20, c-30) but it is still a cool option that will work in a pickup. Eric

You can get the tach/vac conversion kit for around $250 to $300. I have sold several tach/vac ones before for arond $275.

Big J · 01-29-2008, 11:02 PM

Didn't you post before that it has low mileage on it. It couldn't hurt to put that in your listing. If it has little useage on it I'd think it'd make it worth more. Is it all original or is the bezel new?

MiniD · 01-30-2008, 12:41 AM

I've seen them advertised on PDX craigslist for about $400 pretty regularly. If there's any cracks, it goes down significantly (~$90 to replace the face, ~$40 to replace the lense).

72BlazerWA · 01-30-2008, 05:27 AM

yeah I posted it b4 but not for sale or WIW..I posted it when I became a member..I also just posted it on the blazer section but it got moved by a mod here to WIW. anyways, maybe ill give ebay a shot..thanks!

That's a board member who sells them. He also sells on the Seattle Craigslist.

As for the guages, I'd guess more in the $275 range as long as it is for a V8 and stamped for a V8. You can buy new repops for around $500-600 range (I haven't checked in awhile).

I bought a used one about 6 years ago for $60. I never installed it though. It went with my 69 when I traded it. I wish I had kept it.

MiniD · 01-30-2008, 09:44 AM

I've bought a couple of things from the person you're talking about (Mel - AKA "Classic Bowties"), but there's another one listed this week from Vancouver ($400) and there were two others last week. I've seen quite a few. Mel's are usually rebuilt with the tac "upgrade", but they are also completely refurbished to look like new. I did the upgrade on mine for $199 but haven't gotten around to painting the needles and have a definate left to right color variation due to sun exposure.

72BlazerWA · 01-30-2008, 09:46 AM

yeah theres a re-man one on ebay going for 425 with almost 3 days left...its obviously nicer than mine, but mine is original GM..but I cant imagine it would go for over 400 bucks..maybe I should hold on to it if its so valuable..?

bouncytruck · 01-30-2008, 10:07 AM

Put it in your truck!

72BlazerWA · 02-03-2008, 07:32 AM

how do u know if it stamped for a v-8? where would I look for that? thanks!

bouncytruck · 02-10-2008, 12:50 AM

It should be on the back of the tach itself. You'll need to have the cluster out of the truck to see.
