Factory and dealer offering

1965 Mustang

The Rally-Pac placed a tachometer and clock in twin pods above the steering column. Different high-profile and low-profile versions, engine calibrations, colors, and service replacements make identification more involved than simply finding two gauges.

Factory and dealer installations are not separated in the surviving public count trail, and the normal Marti database does not cover 1965. MustangCarFacts therefore preserves the option while stating that no defensible installation total has been recovered.

Factory and dealer offering

1966 Mustang

The Rally-Pac placed a clock and tachometer around the steering column. Ford's March 1966 price list gives a factory price, while the secondary first-generation reference also records a higher dealer-installed price.

Factory and dealer pathways, replacement housings, tachometer range, wiring, and drivetrain compatibility should be kept separate when authenticating a car.

Market United States
Availability Listed as a factory clock/tachometer option and also available through Ford dealers.
Advertised price $69.30 factory ordered; $75.95 dealer installed in the cited references
