Anyone recognize this instrument cluster?

This is in my Perana Z-One - I'm assuming it's "borrowed" from a different car, but I don't immediately recognize it, and I don't want to take apart the whole cluster to try to find a part number? Any clues anyone?

-Wayne

Wayne, Kind of looks Ford like to me. IIRC they were built by Superformance. Call them!

Very cool!

Seems like this is the sort of question that gets answered in 17 minutes around here

Check Dakota Digital...could it be some of their work?

Honest question as I don't know the answer. Is it prohibitively expensive to sub-out the manufacture of a modern electronic instrument clusters? Maybe a company like Visteon instrument clusters manufactured it specifically for Zagato?

Might be Toyota, aren't the clusters in some cars just LCD screens?

The one that Wayne posted appears to have physical, analog gauges. There appears one small backlit LCD at the bottom of the tach (very similar to my 2008 Boxster). And then there are various CEL type lights in groups of 3 just above the union of the 3 gauges. The gauge on the far left seems to be a 3 gauge multi-gauge.

The gauges are slightly similar to the gauges in my 2008 Boxster S, but not enough for them to be related. My boxster has small LED in the bottom of each gauge, I think, and I believe my multigauge is on the right vs the left. Different configuration, but similar style.

Sorry - I don't recognize this one at all. The combo gauge on the left and general arrangement is similar to older Mercedes clusters (if they had a tach in the center). Please let us know who makes that one when you get it apart...

They used GM/Chevy engines from what I can tell, so my initial thought was it would be from the GM parts bin.

I thought SpeedHut had a cluster like that at one time.

Looks small enough to fit in a motorcycle fairing...maybe look there?

If it's off a shelf will it have some part numbers on it from the original manufacturer?

I found this:

"The occasional jiggly interior bit, a waviness to the French stitching in the leather upholstery, a fuel gauge that never reads higher than one-quarter full, or the way the side glass doesn’t perfectly fit into the seals are, frankly, to be expected."
