Title: Correct 66 GT Instrument Bezel
Post by: Tiny on September 13, 2019, 07:55:51 AM

Hi all, I thought I had it all sorted out with extensive research into the correct Instrument Bezel for a 66 GT.  I have a standard black interior Sept 65 Built 66 GT Coupe. (6R07A......)  I always thought that the correct GT Instrument Bezel was the one that I have attached as an image. The Mustang store told me today that the GT Bezel in the picture is for a 65 GT only.  The standard interior GT did not have this type of Bezel but just the standard one.  Only the 66 Luxury interior GT had a Wood Grain Bezel, the same as the image.

Can you please advise concisely if this is correct.  I want to make my GT as original as I can which include the correct Bezel

Thanks

TINY.

here is a image of a NOS 66 instrument bezel which would be correct for your car.
If you have any other questions happy to help out

That is the 65 standard interior GT bezel.

Yes some can get the two years and their differences confused with one another and many owners over time purchased and installed incorrect bezels when their originals got old with what ever was available at the time adding to the confusion. Many of our great members have already provided examples and input to guide you to the correct bezel for your need.

Non-deluxe (pony) interior 66's used the same bezel GT and non-GT since both had full gauges - a new feature that year.


Example below is (top) 65 GT bezel and glove box door - (below) 66 standard and standard interior GT bezel and glove box door
