I'm in need of a few parts, some needed more than others but if any of the 'non-essential' items pop up at a decent price I'll buy them.

1. Fuel/oil pressure/temp gauge with the black button, not the chrome one. I want it to match the rest of my gauges. **I'm awaiting a response from another member on this part but figured I'd throw it out here again** -need this asap!

2. Complete dark blue center console with no damage to the front fascia area (where it'll be visible). Little dents that will be covered by the seats are okay. The one in my car is cracking/curling up along the CCU area. **Non-essential item**

3. Super clean dark blue center console carpet, no stains or yucky sticky residue

4. Blue dashboard with little to no (preferable) cracks- **I know, I know, a needle in a haystack but worth mentioning. **Non-essential item**

5. Dark blue RH (passenger side) C-pillar trim with all mounting tabs in place. **Non-essential item**

6. Instrument Cluster Housing in excellent shape (nice lens, no broken plastic etc..)- need this asap!

Hit me up with anything you may have or know of. I may add to the list if I think of anything else. I may be able to trade for other W123 and/or OM617 parts if anyone needs anything.

Please quote me price with shipping to 37128

PanZZer has a crack free dash for sale.

Yes, I've seen his listing but his is black, though I would eventually consider just throwing a black one in there. I have a spare black console I could use to make it match a little.


Just a note: I would need the dash/console to be from a later car, maybe 82 or 83 to 85 as the earlier cars had different vinyl texture. Not exactly sure when the texture changed but I'm guessing 82 or 83. I want it to match what's in the car already

Got the 2 most important items on my way (gauge and cluster housing) so everything else I'll still keep an eye out on but will be in no rush to buy.

On a side note, does anyone think a black dash and center console in a blue interior car will be hideous? I may eventually go that route since crack free black dashes are more plentiful...

I would look for a non-cracked blue dash of different texture first. I'm not convinced that the black one would look so hot...

Also, have you looked at a dash cap? I think I'd also consider that before a black dash.

2 Samuel 12:13: "David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die."

I have some blue interior plastic items which are in nice condition. They are yours for free if you pay the postage and PP fees.

I'm actually not too keen on putting one in with the different texture- I'd rather put a black one in with the correct texture if needed. However, I do currently have a carpet mat on it, which does the job for me for now. I was just toying with the idea really as there are some cracks on the current dash located around the ignition switch which will never be coverable.

Is there some way you can get me a photo/list of what you have? I may be interested. I'm currently a bit short on funds in my PP account but if I can sell a few things I may be able to cover the shipping and get those items out of your way.

Change from pebble grain to leather grain happened along with the headrest change.

Pebble grain had elephant ear headrests, leather grain had flat top headrests. Change was for 1980 model year.
