    I have had this NOS SW Alternator Greenline gauge for a while now. It's 2 1/16" Any idea what it is worth?

    Last NOS one I had sold for $450 about a year ago. I'm getting $350 for nice used ones these days. I'd say put it on Ebay with no reserve and let it fly.

    The 2 1/16 was only used on the Shelby 68's and
    there are two versions of which only one is correct for
    the Shelby. Look at the needle. Is it the same width
    from bottom to top or is the needle pointed like an
    arrow head. If the latter, it's not an original Shelby gauge.

    It has the full width needle and the light socket too with light socket and wire and bulb. I could send you a picture on your email.

    I've never seen one with an arrow that says "Alternator" only "Amperes". If you have a picture I'd like to see it. Interestingsly there is an oil guage that has identical face, even same part # as Shelby guage but is sidelit instead of backlit.

    Hi TLEA,
    I have 3 amp gauges with the arrow like pointer
    and they all say AMPERES instead of ALTERNATOR.
    Also have one of the OIL PRESSURE gauges you
    mentioned with side lighting. None of these are
    correct for a Shelby but are probably better than
    none if you can't find the correct ones.
    Randy sent photos of his gauge and in my opinion
    it is correct for 68 Shelbys. It says ALTERNATOR and
    looks like it is in excellent shape.
    Randy,
    Good luck with your sell.

    For some reason I seem to collect these. I've typically got several Alternator guages. The oil guages are harder to come by.
