Description
The RTX-66C-IMP-X brings Dakota Digital's direct-fit RTX instrument system to the 1966 Chevy Caprice/Impala, retaining the stock dash look while adding modern electronic capability. Whether your car is a base Biscayne, a loaded Caprice, or anything in between running a 250 c.i. six cylinder, a 427, or a late model powerplant swap, this system is designed to deliver accurate, flexible instrumentation for the application.
Dakota Digital engineered the RTX series to keep the factory layout, face styling, and indicator placement intact, so at a glance the gauges appear original equipment. Once powered on, the full LED backlighting reveals the true capability of the system, with user-selectable colors bringing a late-model touch to a classic dash.
Each RTX system features CNC-machined housings and in-house designed electronics, including a high-definition TFT message center that can be configured to display a wide range of vehicle information. A central control box simplifies installation and setup.
