The first-generation Torino interior left its mark; the quad-group of round gauges creates a recognizable focal point in this full size interior. The direct-placement VHX Series is the simplest solution available to updating the 50 year old gauges into today’s standards. Spacer rings, cutting of the dash and fabrication are simply not required here, the VHX-68F-TOR is made directly to fit the ’68-69 Torino!
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!
