If you’ve got a 1964-65 Lincoln Continental, you know it’s a ride that stands out. And if you’re looking to upgrade that classic dash, the Dakota Digital VHX system is a solid choice. This isn’t just about looks; it’s about marrying that vintage vibe with modern tech. You can keep your stock bezels and trim while connecting it to pretty much any drivetrain you might throw at it—whether it’s the original 430 or something like an LS3 swap. That’s versatility you don’t see every day.

Now, let’s talk options. You can pick between Black or Silver Alloy face styles, and the LED backlighting comes in blue, red, or white. The fully lit needles and backlit faces make sure you can see everything clearly, day or night. Plus, there’s an LCD message center that keeps you informed without cluttering up the classic look of your dash.

What really sets the VHX Series apart are the details. We’re talking micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that give you accuracy you can trust. And if you’re the type who likes to customize, you’ll appreciate the user-adjustable display feedback. Dakota Digital backs this system with a limited lifetime warranty, which is pretty much the gold standard in the industry.

Installation does require a bit of modification to your stock instrument cluster, so be prepared for that. Check the mounting manual for the nitty-gritty details before diving in.
