A couple years ago I purchased a kit to upgrade my clock in my 70 XR7. It was a relatively easy project and it fit right into the existing bezel just like the original. I am now looking to do the same thing for my 69 standard but I can't find the upgrade kit any more. Does anyone know where I can find these bad boys? Thanks

I replaced the clock mechanism in the Wife's 70 Mach with a quartz movement several years ago. I saw the ad in Hemmings. There is also a website that has many Mustang links (Tom's or Tim's or something like that) In there there is a link to the Co. that I used.

I just purchased a quartz movement from Vic Yarberry at Cougars Unlimited. Still putting the rest of the clock back together, but no big deal replacing the movement. I think Leon Bray told me about this guy. The only downside is the second hand "sweeps" instead of "ticks".

Yup you lose points in judged show for quartz clocks. I repair the original movements and replace the lens $85 all inclusive

Well, the problem with the original clocks is they don't keep time worth a damn. They sure look neat, though.

i will say this,
3 out of 4 of my cars were xr7s(1 the eliminator) and i never had seen 1 work yet. Even at shows on other cats cars(never paid attention but would like to see 1 work).The parts cars clock has a badly faded lens and not sure if the clock works but eventually i may have it rebuilt.
thanks

Now you guys have me curious - I replaced my clock innards with quartz about 5 years ago - but I could SWEAR the second hands ticks (rather than sweeps) - guess I'll have to look when I get home tonight...
