If you're looking to modernize your 1969-70 Mustang without losing that classic vibe, the Dakota Digital VHX Series is a game changer. This isn’t just a bunch of gauges slapped together; it’s a thoughtfully designed upgrade that fits right into your stock bezel. You get six analog instruments plus two LCD message centers, all while keeping that original layout intact. Want to add a little extra flair? Check out the VLK-69F-MUS clock/message center or the VLC-69F-MUS analog clock for the passenger side — both match perfectly.

What really sets the VHX Series apart is how it combines cutting-edge tech with retro style. You’ll appreciate the fully lit needles and backlit faces, making it easy to read in any light. And let’s not forget about the micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that deliver accuracy you can trust. Plus, you can customize the display feedback to suit your style. Dakota Digital backs it all up with a limited lifetime warranty, a testament to their commitment to quality. Everything is engineered and built right in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which is pretty cool if you ask me.

Specifications:

The gauges cover everything you need:

• Speedometer: 0-160 MPH (or 0-255 km/h if you prefer the metric system)
• Tachometer: Ranges from 0-8,000 RPM
• Oil Pressure: 0-80 psi
• Water Temperature: 100-260°F (or 40-120°C for metric)
• Fuel Level: E, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, F
• Voltmeter: 9-17 VDC

Lighting is another highlight. The backlit technology ensures you can see what matters most at a glance, thanks to a series of LEDs behind each gauge face.

Digital Message Centers:

These aren’t just for show either. You’ll find:

• Standard Displays: Odometer (set it once, it’s good for a million miles), dual trip meters, and a clock.
• Performance Meters: 0-60 MPH timer, quarter-mile times, and high-speed recalls.
• Gauges: Speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure, water temp, voltmeter, and fuel level all displayed in easy-to-read formats.

The LCD display is auto-contrasting, meaning you can see it in bright sunlight, and it’s LED backlit for those night drives.

Built-in Indicators:

You'll also get handy indicators for turn signals, high beams, check engine light, and more. If your Mustang has cruise control or 4x4, those indicators can be integrated too.
