Hey Guys,
I am restoring a 1967 Karmann Ghia Coupe and needed your help with gauge measurements. I need the measurements of the Speedo, Fuel, and Clock. I believe the fuel gauge is 2 1/16". Can someone confirm that for me?
Any and all information is greatly appreciated.

67 had a one-year-only speedometer. While at first glance it looks just like 68-71, unlike those later years which have four indicator warning lights above the needle, 67 only had a single indicator light above the needle for high beams.

Clock and fuel are 2 1/16". Speedo is, IIRC, 4 1/4" _________________ Currently own:

Hello HandsomeGha67,
I'm in OC and not as far along with my Ghia as you are. Can you tell me who you took it to for body and paint?
Thank you,
