I am hoping to find someone that can provide a rough estimation on GTE gauge prices as I have a set but seem to be having no luck in finding what they are worth. Thank you. Very Happy

I have never been in the market to purchase.

What I remember casually seeing.

Also assuming you mean Bradley GTE.

I have seen GTII with VDO cockpit gauges in the 75 to 100 range.

I have seen GTII with VDO Jet cockpit gauges go for 125 to 150.

I do not remember seeing a GTE panel sell.
Rare does not equal valuable There has to be a desire/market for it and I have not ever seen anyone desiring a volt gauge for a GTE.

The other gauges cross over. They are all "out of the book" std aftermarket gauges, not special to any car manufacturer. If they were Jet cockpit I might would be interested..... just to hold onto for any future project.

In the end .. they are worth whatever you can get for them...... could be more in today's market and you found someone who needed them for a GTE.
I would be pickled tink if I could get 50 to 75 for them.

Other opinions may vary.....

If they are Jet Cockpit gauges, working, in very good shape and complete with the aircraft style bezels they are both a decent amount. It depends also what fauge it is. Clock's and head temp are worth more as are the 8000rpm tachs and speedo with working trip meter. On average I've seen them go for 50% than other vdo gauges for used and 100-150% more for NOS.

Thank you for the info, I do appreciate it. These are not cockpit style, but they are in excellent shape, the Speedometer is a VDO, thin font style, installed but never ran as the odometer is 0 miles. I only have them due to having bought a GTII/GTE actually, for the windshield for a rebody project I am working on with a body obtained from Skip White's family. Again, Thanks for the info and best of luck with all your builds Very Happy

Ha - I thought you meant gauges from a Puma GTE! A photo would help clarify.
