Dakota Digital 1961 Ford Galaxie, Mercury Monterey and Meteor 600 VHX Instruments - VHX-61F-GAL

 


 

The new VHX Systems fit directly into the stock instrument housing of a 1961 Ford Galaxie and 1961 Mercury Monterey and Meteor 600 adding a wealth of features to this iconic vehicle. This 5-gauge system (with digital voltmeter) includes a full new machined rear gauge housing, attaching directly to the backside of the stock metal gauge bezel (not included).

* Bezel shown in pic is NOT included. Shown installed for illustrative purposes only.

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-61F-GAL Metric system (KM/H and degrees Celsius) is available as a custom option for no additional cost, but may take approximately 8-16 weeks to build. Some systems may take a little longer due to COVID-19 and high demand affecting production.
