1968 Beaumont dash gauges.
Permalink  

I have recently purchased a 1968 Beaumont custom and want to put the rally tach and gauges in. Any help with where to purchase these items would be appreciated. I have found them at Early birds in Ontario but was wondering if there were anywhere else I should/could be checking. Thanks.

Maybe I should have qualified my statement, I found them as a GTO part. Not much luck finding them elsewhere and I want to have as close as possible to the  original. That's why I was wondering if anybody knew of another parts supplier that would have them. I have already tried goldleaf with no results.

         Not to be rude...  but think about it    Who will stock gauges for a Beaumont?   how many would they sell ?   1 every 10 years

 

        as close to original is cool but often your better to use what ever you can     I think 68 Beaumonts are about 48 years old

You are not going to find any one that makes Gauges just for the Beaumont or any other part for that matter. There is a few emblems that are being reproduced but that's about it. It's Chevelle or Gto stuff. Or used Parts only. I am always keeping an eye out at swap meets but no luck yet for me. Good luck on the hunt. Great looking car you got.

Sweet car.. Looks a lot like the own owned by member 427 ...

best bet is to buy gauges and sensors from NOS our sponsor.  They can order it in I'm sure. 

 

Check OPG site or Ames,  then you know what your getting into.

You should be able to find a set of 1968 GTO/Lemans rally gauges on Ebay and have them restored.
