RE: Hermaphodite mustang
thats more like donor parts or cannibalism at worst. A hermaphroditic mustang would have a chevy engine in it.
I might be wrong about this but I think i have seen other 65s with that type of dash in it. Not sure if that’s correct but I think I have???

RE: Hermaphodite mustang
Is there a possibility that the prior owner had the idiot light dash panel changed out to a 66 guage panel. I did that conversion years ago based upon an article in one of the 'how to' publications.

Just take the time and wire it correctly. Undo all the stupid stuff the previous owner did and do it right.
That is one of the things that happens when you get into old cars, someone with less than a workable knowldge base attempts to repair something or add a stereo. When it happens, you get what you got.

RE: Hermaphodite mustang
Yup, you have a 66 dash in there. It should have the gauges that have the fuel on the left, speed in middle, straight across not in a circle gauge, and the temp on the right.
They are pretty cheap to replace. If yours works then its up to you whether you keep it or not. Personally I like the 65 gauge cluster. Kinda unique, aisde from being in the falcon as well lol.
