Rally-Pac

Rally-Pac is the name given to an optional tachometer and clock fitted to certain car models built by the Ford Motor Company in the mid-1960s.

The steering column-mounted accessory was introduced in 1963 soon after Ford's successful participation in that year's Monte Carlo Rally, hence the name.

Early versions fitted to cars with the Falcon's horizontal speedometer and warning light cluster (such as the Mustang) featured the clock and tachometer pods fitted slightly higher from centerline than versions fitted to cars with round speedometers and gauges, such as those equipped with the GT performance and trim package.

By comparison, the base 1965 "Challenger 289" with its hydraulic valve lifters redlined at only 4800 RPM.

The accessory's usefulness combined with its rarity make original units highly collectable among Ford enthusiasts.
