Hi just got a 90 coupe.It was a no runner with 180000 miles.
Engine was replaced 50000 miles ago with crate motor.The owner said he was over it and sold it to me for 2800.00.I had it running in a hour with a 14 dollar coil. All is working on car but dash works if u look at it from side but cant see from front like lights are out any ideals on it?
This it with first clean up interior i ok but dirty no rips just worn.

Welcome to the forums! Seems like you got a good buy! The dash is a common problem. Learn how to do a search, and you will find all kinds of useful information on how to either fix it, or replace it.

Enjoy that Vette!
