Hey machattack ,though you only needed some panels ,anyway has your vin an 02 sportsroof or 05 mach 1 ,and shelbys 69/70 before the consective number there is a 48 .after the engine letter .

Yes, mach1's are a funny bunch!!

normally 05 in the vin # and 63C on the plate decode as a Mach, but everynow and then you get the 02 in the vin # but 63C on the door tag.

If theres no door tag, a MartyGra report is the only option to decode it if its a sportsroof or a MAch1

Kenny,

As for your dash and clock...I have sorted it for you

Rockets dash is the lighter shade of woodgrain and the one I have lined up is the darker shade that will match your door panels. The only problem is the circuit on the back may be toast so I would look at what rocket has done and go the digital....that looks awesome

My 69 R code is has an 02 in the VIN and 63C on the tag.

Hep but only in 69 not 70 .I think i might have stuffed up 02 in 69 ,05 1970 even tho i have seen 05 on 69 mach 1. hmm

Shermatt · « **Reply #29 on:** June 06, 2012, 09:34:53 pm »

here's another bit of trivia for you all

1970 was the only year that only a partial VIN was stamped on the inner fenders

Original Tach in my car... But we currently have the WHOLE bloody dash out trying to get everyting working... Fuel was the only one working on arrival

- after a few days of heart ache we have the clock going, speedo going, an illuminated dash, temp and HOPEFULLY soon a Tach.

I want this baby to be 100%

Good on ya Matt sourcing the dash - looks a hell of a lot better with the wood

Hope all is going well with the build Junior.

fairly sure my 63c isnt a mach1 just a sportsroof...., although happy to be told how wrong I am....

For $15 you can have an answer in a couple of days:

Still looking for a dash. The printed circuit on mine is cactus and I don't want to waste money on it when I intend changing it anyway. Even one needing reconditioned will do.

Shermatt · « **Reply #34 on:** July 15, 2012, 09:47:48 pm »

Kenny,

Still busting Sherms balls about the one he said that he had. He found a few but were the lighter shade of woodgrain. I will keep at him mate

So, your car didn't have a tach-dash anyway. It was only standard on 428CJ 4 speed cars in 1969 (I believe only R-Codes had them std, but experts insist 4-speed Q-Codes had them too (apart from mine)) but auto's only had them as an option.
The only other cars to have them as standard fitment were Shelby's and Boss 429 cars, and the Shelby's (and maybe the B9's?) had a 140 mph speedo

However, the real trick is that to fit a tach dash, you need to change out the whole dash harness and the engine bay harness and alt harness (unless you do a wiring mod thats listed on the Boss302 forum).

Final caveat - SOME cars that weren't CJ 4-speed cars or Shelbys or Boss 429's got tachos fitted anyway without it being called out on the option list - God only knows why...

I'm not really after a tach dash Jiffy, I will be more than happy with the standard gauges.

Hi all I got a set of 1970 mach1 dash panels on ebay. Check it out also includes the clock panel as well.

MachAttack · « **Reply #38 on:** July 26, 2012, 03:59:12 pm »

Shame the '70 isn't the same rp1966, thanks anyway.

Thanks heaps mate, will call them first thing tomorrow.

brent65 · « **Reply #41 on:** July 26, 2012, 05:40:29 pm »

Yep that's them, the dash and clock set up was in the display cabinet (non tacho dash) I dont know if it is listed on their site though

MachAttack · « **Reply #42 on:** July 26, 2012, 05:51:57 pm »

Doesn't seem to be listed. Did they have a price on it?

brent65 · « **Reply #43 on:** July 26, 2012, 05:58:27 pm »

Didn't look closely enough to see if a price was on them, give them a call in the morning or I think there is some guys mobile number on the website from memory

MachAttack · « **Reply #44 on:** August 02, 2012, 11:40:47 pm »

Forgot to mention Brent, turned out they were from a '70 but thanks for the heads up anyway. The hunt continues.

brent65 · « **Reply #45 on:** August 03, 2012, 05:59:00 pm »
