Default Factory installed Tachometer

I have a 1968 mustang that has the factory installed tachometer in the instrument cluster. How rare are the tachs? I do not see them very often.

Hello. I wouldn't exactly call them rare, but they certainly weren't common, either. You could get a Marti report on the car and that would tell you exactly how many cars came with a factory tach. Hope that helps.

Out of 317,423 Mustangs in the 68 model year only 8,147 got factory tachs. It breaks down as 2,332 coupes, 4,526 fastbacks and 1,289 converts.

This is from Marti's records.
