Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-65C-VET-X brings the RTX series to the 1963-67 Chevy Corvette in 1965-67 styling, delivering a stock-appearing instrument cluster with modern electronics underneath. Every design detail, from layout to face styling and indicators, has been developed to mirror the original equipment appearance, so a casual glance won't give away the upgrade until the LED backlighting is switched on.
Each RTX housing is CNC machined and fitted with electronics designed and built in-house by Dakota Digital. A high-definition TFT message center can be configured to display a wide range of trip, performance, and diagnostic information, while a central control box simplifies installation and setup. The system is designed to use an OEM or reproduction style bezel, which is not included.
