I have this one for my el camino,and though Iam not completely
sure that I will use it..its another option for a gauge panel for a
G-body and will fit Monte,Malibu,and Elky's.I might use it if I can
update it with some aluminum pieces or something to upgrade it.

Not too many options out there for G-bodys..not the most popular.

Iam sure with some good finish work and detailing,it would be a
better option compared to the old originals that don't work so well.

The guy who sells them lives in Canada and is very nice..and will work
it out with you great,he answered all my questions and sent mine well
packaged and insured,and in a very fast and professional way.


Here is his email..[email protected] Around $120.00 with shipping.


Here is a picture! Not my carpet thank you! lol...

Hope it helps..


-Jim

You could aways find a nice Grand Prix dash, and then install aftermarket gauges. The GP used round gauges, and a lot of them. Further, the GP didn't use tiny little gaues stuck in a small cluster, but instead used good sized gauges. Best looking of the G-body dashes in my opinion.

The four gauges farthest to the right are occupying holes originally used as vents. The rest of the gauges are in stock locations.

Here is a stock dash...
