Does anyone know where is the best place to go to have a std 1970 clock rebuilt ?? Or got one to sell that works ??
 
I did the quartz conversion on my Cuda clock. Cost about $50 and even came with a video on how to do the conversion.

I had heard there was an issue on the "round" clocks (Mach style) vs the "rectangular" clocks and the conversions were for the round units only (I have a non-functioning rectangular unit) but I've never verified this info. Just an FYI to verify as needed, depending on the clock the original poster is using.

Yea, that's what I was wondering. I need the rectangular one. Sent them a E-mail to see.

I'd appreciate it if you could send me a PM after you hear back from them on compatability, it's "time" to get mine fixed too.
 
I had also read that other clocks of the day use the same guts so if you could find a working unit in another Ford or Mercury, good chance it is the same as you have.

This was the reply.
"Thank you for your inquiry. We have quartz conversion kits for most Borg made clocks starting in the early 60's. The rectangular clock used in the 69-70 Mustangs was made by General Time. We can put a quartz movement in your clock for you but don't offer it in kit form because of the modifications that need to be made. The charge for your clock is $120.00. This includes installation of the quartz movement, painting the hands to their original colors, polishing the lens, cleaning/painting the case and USPS priority mail back to you (within the US). The quartz service is listed on eBay and it is item number 370434972660.

If you have any questions, please let me know."

Dude - thats too much wood paneling there. You need something to break that up and give it some Feng Shui. A clock would lend some Chi to that otherwise plain panel and restore the life flow to that side of the room.
