Up For Auction / Shelby tach
« on: March 01, 2023, 05:15:55 PM »
Ford sold this style tach as an over the counter accessory and service replacement. The chrome cup and triangular mounting base identify it as such. These tachs have the pointer style needle. Since it was produced by Faria, who also made the "cricket bat" needle version, I would not classify this as a "reproduction", but it is arguably not assembly line correct.
I have Hertz car off lease return paperwork and the cars were often missing their original tachs. They were reconditioned with service tachs, so there are examples out there that had this style when sold out of the Hertz lease program, suggesting they are original production. Faria stamped a month/year production date onto the back of their units, so removing the cup should reveal its production provenance.
