Now I can't validate the price I told you but I sware that's what I found. You may just have to give them a call.

Thats pretty nice, but how many guages do you need. I mean the stock one has 7 holes for guages. I suppose if you were running a super charger or something, it may be usefull, but with a NA motor, I think that's too many guages. JMO

I believe you are right zumo it was somewhere in the $500.00 range. Their is no way I would pay $500 for that

*Piston* · 01-29-2003, 02:46 PM

I just called them and these are a brand new item according to them. They aren't even availible yet... they're scheduled for production in mid April and will be availible in any color if you send them a color sample. She did indicatet they would be in stock in black color only, anthing else would be a special order.

Price for the dash with gauge's would run 350-400.00

Neat idea but a little ricey for me personally. You can make your own alot cheaper!

damn too expensive for me

although it would be great for me to mount my air guages for my air suspension, i was just going to run two guages front the front two wheels but i could throw an extra in to monitor the pressure in my tank.

They've been saying a "couple of months" for a year now. Probably not thier fault but don't hold your breath. BTW, you wouldn't buy it for practical reasons, it's just the for the cool factor. You just don't even try to justify some stuff.

*Piston* · 01-29-2003, 08:31 PM

I'd use that dash in my 71 but there's no need for it in the 72 (daily driver). There are ALOT of other things that need to be bought before a 400.00 dash though.

Myride · 01-29-2003, 09:15 PM

I like them

casey · 01-29-2003, 09:37 PM

Different strokes for different folks, I personally wouldn't buy one for myself, but I think there real cool. The price has to be high until they can start to sell alot of them, it's probably alot of work to make them
