If you’re looking to keep that classic vibe in your 1969-70 Mustang while seriously upgrading your instrumentation, the Dakota Digital VHX Series is where it’s at. This setup doesn’t just slap on some gauges; it transforms your original layout with six analog instruments and two LCD message centers, all fitting snugly into the stock bezel. And if you want to add a bit of flair, you can pair it with the VLK-69F-MUS clock/message center or the VLC-69F-MUS analog clock for your passenger side.

What really sets the VHX Series apart are the details. The fully lit needles and backlit faces make it easy to read everything at a glance, even in the brightest sunlight. And let’s not forget about the tech under the hood. We’re talking micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that deliver accuracy you can trust. Plus, you can customize the display feedback to fit your style. Dakota Digital backs this up with a limited lifetime warranty, which is pretty much the gold standard in the industry.

Now, let’s dive into some specs. The speedometer goes from 0-160 MPH, with an optional metric version that hits 0-255 km/h. The tachometer tops out at 8,000 RPM, which is perfect for those of us who like to push the limits. You’ll also find an oil pressure gauge (0-80 psi) and a water temperature gauge that ranges from 100-260°F (or 40-120°C if you prefer metric). The fuel level gauge gives you a clear readout from empty to full, and the voltmeter keeps an eye on your electrical system from 9-17 VDC.

But it’s not just about the analog gauges. The digital message centers are a game-changer. You get standard displays like an odometer (settable up to a million miles), dual trip meters, and a clock. For the performance junkies, there are timers for 0-60 MPH, 1/4 mile times, and even high-speed recalls. All these features are displayed in a way that’s easy to read, thanks to the auto-contrasting LCD that adjusts in bright sunlight and LED backlighting for nighttime driving.

And let’s not forget the built-in indicators—turn signals, high beams, check engine lights, and more, all integrated for a clean look. The VHX Series comes with all the necessary sensors too, like a water temperature sensor with a 10-foot harness and an oil pressure sensor that’s solid-state for reliability. The speed sensor replaces your old Ford or GM style cables and is easy to install with some clearance considerations.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the push-button calibration system. Just mount the included buttons where they’re easy to reach, and you can calibrate your speedometer and set everything up without a hassle. Dakota Digital even provides detailed manuals for wiring and setup, so you won’t be left guessing.
