hell yes over $200 - check out the completed listings "camaro 81 cluster" there have been clusters in not nearly as good of shape as yours for that kinda coin

I agree with Mav. I thought about going autometer and have a few of them but I like the factory look and that is so clean!! $200 for yours is way better than $550 for autometers in my pocketbook right now

if you dont get at least 125. i would have a buddy try to win it so you can resell it for more!!

Very nice, but not for early z-28s, they had the redline starting up higher.Alot of sellers miss that feature and say for z's.

That's called "shilling"... Highly frowned upon with eBay.

I think that's what happened on a 79 cluster I bought... It doesn't always work out well for the seller.
(Buyers will catch on when it gets relisted and won't bid on the item again.)

This cluster ended up getting relisted twice and I won the third auction with a last-second bid under $100.

So would this not work well for my 72?

It'll work, just won't be correct for a 72. You'll also have to remove the clear turn signal posts.

It's an easy swap of the lens and lens frame from another cluster with the proper signal light position. (70-78)

uhhh, we NEVER play those games ...

If you win it, you bought it and if you think you can sell it for more, you can do it! Then YOU can keep all of the proceeds.

We have a LOT of people/buyers that buy our stuff and then re-list what they bought for many times what they paid, it is the free enterprise system at its best :)

(a certain person from Georgia used to buy from us MANY years ago before he got himself on the blocked bidders list. He would buy cheap NOS parts from us to get the boxes so he could use them to sell repro junk as NOS ... yeah, we all know who he is ... or we SHOULD ... see this link:http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107384 if you do NOT know ...)

One person in particular in Canada buys a LOT of our 3rd gen stuff and them marks it up 4-5 times in his stores. I guess he sells the stuff as he keeps on buying, he is happy and we are happy, win win

many times things end up selling for less than what you would think they should, the smart buyers are the ones that buy at those prices

interesting.. I just sold the same type cluster to a member here last week for 30 bucks.. but it only had one tab left.
I thought that was a fair price:innocent:

It was me that bought the cluster for 30 bucks...sorry to say that the post office played football with the pkg....was broken into a 100 pieces....but still worth it IMO....dont mean to hi-jack the thread but will my idiot lite gauge housing swap directly with the broken gauge housing? No clock on my idiot cluster

Thanks Jon

Also the lens was broken too, will that swap also? Gauges appear unbroken, housing and lens appear to have taken the abuse

sorry to hear that.. i thought that box would have been plenty sturdy.

i have an idiot light cluster I will send ya.. you can use lense anyway.. with careful cutting you can use the housing too.. just have to cut the gauges in.

sorry man.:screwup:

Not upset at all! It happens....I have my stock idiot light cluster that i can use the lens and cluster so no need to send yours...So its just a swap on the lens and i can make the housing work with a little cutting?

K5JMP
03-27-2011, 12:11:55 PM
a lot of careful cutting... I'll send ya a PM..

03-27-2011, 12:14:53 PM
Would it be better to just buy a repro housing...altho I've read on here that the fitment is not too good with aftermarket housings

K5JMP
03-27-2011, 12:32:49 PM
I'll just send you your money back on the 1st.. keep the 130 speedo.
I kinda feel like I need to make this right.
sorry again.

tecate
03-27-2011, 12:46:15 PM
The money is no issue....you made me a very good deal...as said earlier the speedo alone is worth at least 50 so no refund money will be accepted.....just want to replace my idiot lights with gauges so some advice is all i need....no worries and dont feel bad about it

Jon

03-27-2011, 12:56:25 PM
it will take a whole lot more effort than it's worth.. lemme do some checking around..
we also need to quit hi-jacking this thread..:screwup:
