My '59 euro rag has an ELECTRIC fuel gauge! It works with the correct hump style gas tank,and looks exactly like the '62-'67 fuel gauge. How rare are these?

So its square like the later ones, but is electric, and uses the same sender as early ghias right? They pop up every now and then...not as much $$$ as the Dehne, but still pricey.

Fuel gauges are for girls anyway... Wink

$30-$50 for a working electronic fuel gauge. The RHD version is the one to look out for.

Yes mine works,and I have the gastank sender! So $30-$50 is the going price? I am going to sell them off and use just the reserve lever

I've seen one gauge with an asking price of $75 at Kelly Park last year, Didn't sell though. I bought mine at an OCTO event for $30. I'd estimate $30-$50 is a good price for both parties.
