I am looking to buy an original cluster for a 67. Bezel or lens condition is not of importance, just looking for really nice black gauges with no fading, damage, etc. Does anyone have any leafs or ideas as to where to locate one?
Thanks in advance!

You can probably get a decent one from Glazier Nolan, but as for 67 gauges with "no" fading, it seems unlikely you'll find 42-year-old gauges with no fading. I have used needle paint and Fine Line striping tape to re-do the needles and red line on these gauges. Any better than that you'll have to have them reconditioned. They come back like new, even if they're nasty now.
hey, check this out i was looking at it the other day on YouTube www.averagejoeresto.com he shows you how to restore and where to buy tho's parts, and he makes it look easy!!!
thanks, ive been to that site and actually used it to restore mine, problem is I went to white gauge face overlays and i realized i prefer the black look better. instead of destroying the overlays and probably damaging the gauges removing the adhesive, i figure i would be better off getting a new set and selling mine.
Here are the pics of how the instrument cluster turned out. Needles repainted, Scott Drake white gauge face overlays, Mustang Project ultra bright white LED bulbs, matching white LED electronic tach with shift light... White it turned out great and there is a huge improvement in visibility, it is just a bit too modern for my taste.
