I suppose with the ad, they were trying to use the best looking car available but then faced with the dilemma of the car overpowering the product they would need to stick it in an awkward spot and give it a contrasting color.

My eyes are bad enough I'd have to mount it on the cowl? ;D

I always liked that style hood tach, but definitely not on the Charger hood like in that old ad. For any of the cars that I have, I'd consider it for my Scamp but doubt I'd ever install one. My thoughts on adding anything to a car now, is that I better REALLY, REALLY like it.  :lol:

You should see it when it moves. It won't move on this site. I have WAY more creepy ones. This one was tame.

Back in the 8's there was a Daytona that was a regular at shows in the midwest that had one of the Mopar hood tachs on it.  I have pics somewhere.
Is this your picture from the 84 nationals? I also took a picture of this car, but need to re-scan as it's too small...

Gotta be the same car, how many could there be?

I had one of the after market ones (without the Chrysler logo) mounted on my first car, a '66 Charger back in the day.  Never wired it up, was just for looks in my case.  I removed it when I added a Challenger TA hood scope to my Charger.  I actually still have it in the garage along with the install instructions...

How did that Dodge Omni get parked in the wing car section...   :icon_smile_big:

IIRC, that picture was taken outside of the Indy track in a parking lot  ;) Ghoste's picture of it was inside the track....

i had a 72 pontiac catalina 2dr beater that had one of these dixco tachs on it. It did not work anymore but it looked cool. :D

That is something I could never add to one of my Chargers. Too Pontiac for me. It does look O.K. on the Daytona along with the fender scoops.
