<VV> I think I figured out my ebay problems ...

[Eric S. Eberhard]

It is just the little 3 (no speedo/tach) and Clark's lists them for 
84 total ... but not in stock.  They are 63-64 (red dials).  The 
gauges are real nice, the plastic faces only so-so -- they need the 
white repainted which I have done and suck (toothpick).  69 was what 
I listed them for thinking they were a good deal.  I surprised anyone 
on this list would not look on ebay -- there are lots of things 
sometimes at reasonable prices (sometimes not) -- it is a buyer 
beware thing.  E
