1968-77 Chevy Corvette VHX Instruments


from Dakota Digital

VHX-68C-VET



The new VHX Systems fit directly into the stock instrument housing of a 1968-77 Chevy Corvette without modification, adding a wealth of features to this iconic vehicle.

*Requires the use of factory bezels (gauge housings). Bezels (housings) are Not Included.

Drive information is paramount in a performance car with the brute-force engine options found in the '68-77 Corvette. Making use of the stock gauge bezels, six analog-sweep gauges plus three LCD message centers are a simple upgrade for your early C3.

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 Dakota Digital's facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!
