Try Hemmings. Saw won at Super Chevy with all three gauges for 500.00. Looked good, but I would have it re-conditioned. sam

I just got in a repop and it would be fine for a everyday car but if you are doing a frame off on a very rare car opt to find a original and have it restored.

For 500.00 I will look in the rafters for one.....

Charley is that were all the nice dash clusters are hiding??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I used one after buying three used clusters, all of which ended up being majorly screwed up in some way. The fit is ok, the finish is too flat, the Camaro script is a little different (only a problem if you don't have the dash clock), but the biggest problem is the poorly formed mounting studs for the vents, wiper switch, etc. I had to run a drill through every stud before they would accept a screw. Pretty sure the studs would have sheared off if I hadn't clearanced the holes.

I think it looks great installed in the car. Please don't buy the repro gauge bezels, though...have a look at 'em and you'll see what I mean. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/ooo.gif

There is an individual in Columbus, OH that restores originals. He may have some already done. I can supply his number off line if there is any interest. He also does other plastic items, and rechroming of plastic parts. I have been very happy with his work.

Thanks for the help. I'll probably try a repop since the car is a really nice driver not a show piece COPO or anything rare.
Wanted to hear from someone that has used one
This is a lt of help
