I have the optional dash clock in my 68 Coupe and it doesnt work. I have been trying to find a replacement for it with no luck. This is a hard to find part, I could keep looking on Ebay and wait forever to get a good one. But I searched the archives here and discovered that some people have taken the clocks apart cleaned them and had them working again. Can this be done to a 68 clock? All the posts were about '69's and 70's mach1 cars with rally pacs.I will put a want ad on the classifieds but Im not holding my breath!  ------------------

Mine didn't come with a clock, but I just replaced the panel with a white-faced tach, it looks awesome and was very easy. Sorry this didn't help you.------------------

If it's anything like the '69 clock, clean the contacts before you replace it. Did that to mine and it works great after being frozen for 6 years. There was an article in M&F a few years ago that details the operation

There are lots of clocks on e-bay just like the one you have -- well, let's say that at any one time there'll be at least one. I monitor them just to keep an eye on the silly prices. If the seller claims it's in perfect working condition, it usually goes for around $100.

Best deal I ever saw-old article in MMonthly. A quartz clock found in 70's Toyota Celica and adapted to fit the 67/8 dash cluster. Neat....andcheap! Guy changed the hands and put on the original Mustangs.
