from Dakota Digital

VHX-68C-CVL




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

A great way to add style and functionality to the original dual-gauge pod design, VHX-68C-CVL is an easy retrofit into '68 Chevelles, El Caminos, and Malibus without modifying the dash. Attaching directly to an OEM or aftermarket dash bezel (not included), you'll have pertinent vehicle information at your finger tips without losing the classic look.

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!

The Ferrari 458 Speciale (pictured) unveiled at Frankfurt Ferrari probably won the crown at the Geneva Motor Show in March with LaFerrari as ‘Star Car’, so whatever they brought to Frankfurt would be a bit of a let down.
