1973-77 Chevy Malibu / El Camino and GMC Sprint
Still working through decades of middle-child syndrome, the 1973-77 Chevrolet A Body is a fresh option for those burnt out on “the same old thing.” Designed as a direct fit upgrade using your stock “rectangle-gauge” dash and front bezel, this kit brings late model features and reliability to your disco-era muscle car. A large LCD message center takes center stage, flanked by analog instruments on either side. Includes required sensors; bezel/gauge carrier not included.
*Bezel shown in any pics is NOT included, shown for visual/presentation purposes.
System uses OEM or reproduction style bezel.
Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems. Completely engineered and manufactured at their facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!
MHX-73C-MAL-S-W Metric system (KM/H and degrees Celsius) is available as a custom option (no additional cost) but may take 6-12 weeks to build. If you would like the metric system, please include a note with your payment or send us a message when you make your purchase.
