Default Classic gauge cluster?

Is there a classic gauge cluster available for the 95-04 Mustangs? I mean the ones that are on older Mustangs and that have been brought back on more recent models. Thanks

I just love the look and style of the numbers and everything. I was just curious if there was a cluster of this style made for the 95-04 Mustang?

I see, from what I've gathered swapping out the stock cluster for Mach 1 gauges might be difficult. Would I have to get a used Mach 1 cluster? And if so wouldn't there be the problem of the odometer being off?

No it wont be difficult, its a direct swap. Your odometer wont be off but your tach will since mach 1's rev higher from them extra 16valves they got.Plus mach 1 gauges will read premium fuel only. If you get them out of a bullitt though they will read perfectly, AS LONG AS you get them apples to apples(5spd for 5spd ,auto for auto). Otherwise your rev will be off again. Hope this helps

your tach will not be off at all.. and if you get an auto mach cluster the redline will still read the same as stock. short of a 160mph cobra cluster, swapping in another new edge style cluster is a direct swap reguardless of auto/5 speed. u have to swap out the chip in the back of the cluster to make it work.
