Corvette Clock Rebuild and Restoration
1953-1962 C1 Corvette Clocks
Unfortunately, we do not repair 53-62 clocks due to the lack of repair parts available. However, we do offer new 1958-1962 reproduction clocks with quartz movements for purchase.
1963-1967 C2 Corvette Clocks
Chevrolet Motor Division contracted with Borg Instruments to supply clocks for the new Corvette in 1963. Borg was well equipped to supply a quality component. A leading manufacturer for the automotive and aviation industries, Borg supplied a beautiful clock that closely resembled the new gauges.

1964 Corvette Clock After Restoration
The original mechanical clock movements used technology from the thirties. Cars were disposable and the movement would last a few years if you were lucky. We all remember that! Corvette Specialties of MD West can restore your clock with the original mechanical mechanism or a modern quartz movement. We recommend the quartz conversion to all owners that are not having the car judged in an NCRS or Bloomington-type event. Keep in mind, the quartz conversion does not modify the configuration of your clock! The clock can easily be rebuilt with the standard mechanical movement at a later date if you desire.

WHEN SENDING PARTS, PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE OUR RESTORATION ORDER FORM.
IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTES: When shipping gauges and other items for restoration, please wrap the items securely! We suggest wrapping each item in bubble wrap individually and cushioning the wrapped bundles within the box with more packaging. When shipping open-face gauges, protect the gauge face by taping the gauge face-down to a piece of cardboard and wrap with bubble wrap. Note that some pointer bases may stick up beyond the edge of the face so the cardboard may need to have a small hole to accommodate it. Be sure to fill the package completely with cushioning material, especially the corners, as any movement within the box can cause damage. Do not use packing peanuts as they allow too much movement within the package. Ensure your items are for a replacement value you feel comfortable with. Please note that even if you insure your items, if the carrier determines the package was not packed properly they may dispute your damage claim.
