FOR SALE 1970 Challenger standard gauge cluster

[DetMatt1]

This is ‘70 Challenger only standard instrument cluster with ribbed plastic bezels and dash harness. Check the pics closely for details. The tabs that align the switch bezel to the cluster bezel are broken on this one but the plastic bezels are in good condition otherwise. The whole assembly is in unknown working condition.$250 + shipping from the Detroit area.

@DetMatt1, I am confused about pic #5. It appears to be a set of standard gauges from a Cuda, not a Challenger, or at least not from a 1970 Challenger.

The 1970 dash was a one-year only. The first 4 pics of the gauges seem to be for a 1970. i.e. the 110 and 120 MPH indicators on the speedo are flipped side-to-side from the rest, which is correct. And the names of the smaller gauges are spelled to completely, which is also correct for a 1970. I am not so sure about the lines around the indicators on the small gauges however. Maybe someone can step in and help us both understand if those are correct for a 1970. On my 70 Challenger, the small gauges do not have the lines around the indicators. See my pic below...

Again, pic number 5 however is a completely different set of gauges, which I believe are from a Cuda.

Good catch, thanks. Pic #5 was of a later cluster and has been removed.

The set for sale here is the second for ‘70 Challenger that I picked up recently in a small parts lot and I did notice the small gauges were different from each other. I already sold the first set but here are the 2 side by side. I’d love to have the conversation about why they might be different. Were they from different suppliers originally? Early & late? Went bad at some point and got changed out? Detroit vs LA?
Unfortunately the cluster in this ad doesn’t have a readable date code but the one I sold that more closely matches your pic is 159th day of ‘70 which is kinda late.
