Costa Beetles never had an Origional Tacho.

Karmann Ghias and Type 3s were the only models that had Origional Tachos, in the 60s.

If its an After market type VDO... then pay what you think its worth are you buying or selling ???

He's buying, and Costa, it wouldn't cost that much. For example, EMPI stuff is usually very expensive, and a NOS EMPI tacho probably wouldn't be in the price range you mentioned..

ok cool thanx guys

Although shame it only goes to 6000rpm

XXX-1.8T - June 14th, 2004 at 07:51 PM

how much are those tachs worth?

Che Castro - June 14th, 2004 at 08:07 PM

here's a better pic of an early 911 tach, only problem is that u have to get it converted for 4 cyl input

This one is for sale for 110 pounds, so about AU$250

The 356 one is very nice and yes shame it only goes to 6,000!

Mmmm yeah i like the 356 one too!

Im thinking of putting an early 911 one in my car. Just gotta figure out a speedo and other stuff first :)

hey heres a 356 tach that goes to 7000rpm - although its repro of porsche 904 tach - so i'm guessing it wont be cheap!
