Re: Anyone remember this car?

--------You guys know best. I just have never seen anybody hang an "inside" tach out in the wind, not that you couldnt......Bill S [/ QUOTE ] Thats why i said it would probably last about 2 days under normal circumstances... but its definitely a SW tach, and that's been re-verified by the original owner. I agree its probably not the most ideal location for it, but hey, it gives us something to talk about 35 years later...  it also verifies that Dixco didn't make ALL the Yenko hood tachs...

Re: Anyone remember this car?
Awesome original pics... note the lack of any engine designation or HP on the factory air cleaner...were they removed, or did it never have any? cool stuff!

Re: Anyone remember this car?
What year were those pics taken? Looks like Dixco gauges under the dash, and an aftermarket Hurst shifter and boot.

Re: Anyone remember this car?
I personally like the hold-down on the engine pic! Whatever works, functionality first--that is what I like about these cars (especially the old photos of the cars "as used").

Re: Anyone remember this car?
I thought Dixco at first too, but then RAC brand came to mind?

Re: Anyone remember this car?
That stick sure looks rectangular to me. Original would have been round, and the boot is definitely not an original GM issued piece. The gauges could be RACs, The mounting panel looks identical to a Dixco one, but they could have been the same for RAC. The deuce mounting panels were black plastic, but i've had other dixcos that were chrome plated plastic like that, with the woodgrain applique as Steve mentioned. Only thing that looks sorta "non-dixco" about it is the black bezels on the gauges instead of silver, but Dixco made many styles of gauges....either way, cool interior pic...

Re: Anyone remember this car?
The engine tie down is classic, I don't know how many muscle cars that I have bought over the years that have had the chain, the wire cable, or the turnbuckle engine mount option on them.
