If you’re looking to breathe some modern life into your classic '65 or '66 Mustang, the MHX-65F-MUS instrument system is a game changer. This setup slots right into your original instrument bezel without any need for modifications—so you can keep that vintage vibe while upgrading your ride's functionality. It fits perfectly in '65 Mustangs with Pony or GT interiors and all '66 models, making it a solid choice for any owner who wants to keep things authentic yet functional.

One of the standout features is how it retains the stock turn signal locations, now with bright LED illumination. You won’t miss a signal, even on the sunniest days. And if you’re into customizing, reproduction bezels are available separately, so you can really make it your own.

When you look at the gauges, you’ll notice fully lit needles and backlit faces that make everything easy to read, day or night. The LCD message center is a nice touch, giving you all the info you need at a glance. Inside, it’s all about precision with micro-controlled stepper motors and solid-state sensors. This means you get accuracy that traditional setups just can’t match. Plus, you can customize the display feedback to suit your style. And let’s not forget the peace of mind that comes with Dakota Digital’s limited lifetime warranty—seriously, they stand behind their products.

Manufactured right here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the MHX Series is a testament to quality engineering. It’s not just an upgrade; it’s a revolution in how we think about instrumentation in classic cars.
