C1 CORVETTE TACHOMETER
First-generation Corvettes date back to 1953. Chevrolet was looking for a way to recreate body shapes and performance capabilities of European cars, so this all-new brand would appeal to those in search of luxury and customization. The C1 Corvette series started out modest with six-cylinder engines, but models adopted powerful V8s, signature quad taillights and stylish louvers by the end of production in 1962.
Collectors from around the world understand the value of a mint condition C1 Corvette. All 1953-1962 releases are extremely rare, so Top Flight Automotive stocks a variety of OEM-style parts for your classic ride. Treat your vintage sports car to one of our reproduction tachometers for authenticity.
WHY REPLACE C1 CORVETTE TACHOMETER?
Tachometers help drivers see how hard an engine is working when the gas pedal is activated. As Chevrolet enthusiasts shift between gears, this gauge on the dash communicates how many revolutions per minute (RPMs) the engine makes. You can think of the C1 Corvette tachometer system as a way to monitor engine behaviors when driving at top speeds.
It’s important to have a working tachometer so you know when to change gears in a manual sports car. Top Flight Automotive carries fully calibrated C1 Corvette tachometers modeled after factory original designs. Find a drop-in replacement for your six- or eight-cylinder engine build.
