NOS Dixco Hood Tach

[SuperNovaSS]

I just listed this NOS Mopar hood tach on Ebay. It is totally complete and has never been used or installed.

NOS Dixco Hood Tach (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250897648978)

Other that the emblem on the face, this tach is identical to the Yenko hood tach.

The reserve is $1940

Thanks,

Jason

Nice piece Jason. Nice to see a new in the box item like this. I am interested in what the Yenko Deuce gurus think about the original finish of the outer case of this tach. I polished my original tach to a high luster similar to what I see here. I have heard opinions that the Deuces were delivered with either a high luster finish or a flat finish. If Yenko delivered these tachs with a low luster or flat finish, did they coat them with a flat finish? If they were a high luster, were they installed as they came out of the box or were they painted with a high luster finish?

Thanks

Hi Jason
I have this on file,you may use the photo if you like.
It seems that your tach is #29 in this brochure.

Thanks for posting the picture. I'm maxed out on the pictures that I can place on Ebay. I may start a photobucket album though as the questions are coming in quick on this tach.


Thanks again,

Jason

Instead of using Photobucket try Flickr
I used to use Photobucket but i find Flickr to be much easier to Cut and paste photos with, plus you can choose which size you want to paste, join-it is free.

Can someone give me a idea what my tach is worth. It was on a 68 bird I bought last week. Was going to list it on ebay but dont want to look like a sucker selling something to cheap.

The later multi color Dixco tachs are worth a pretty good amount. Does it have 3 or 4 wires coming out of it? Does is have a metal mounting nut or a plastic one?

They generally bring $200-$600 depending on condition and what era is is from combined with who is looking for one at the time.

also have a real deuce tach on my desk

This is an original Dixco HT/x Hood Tach. They where manufactured in the same time period as the legendary black-white front indicator.

The first Dixco HT/x with tricolour front indicator was produced in 1972 with a transparent inner “electronic” housing. (Ultra rare)

This one comes with a white inner housing, produced in 1973 up to 1977.

I have one in NOS condition. They are very rare! I’m still looking for one in the original box. Never saw one on eBay or something else.

Your tach looks good; I think the worth is around 350 to 450 USD.
