Default 84 to 89 Analog Dash Panels

I assume most if not all of you have seen my threads on building an analog dash for my 96 now that Vettaid is shut down. I bet that a lot of you don't know that Intellitronix makes analog panels for the 84 to 89 cars.

Look what I found on eBay. The price is super aggressive.

I would have to see it in person. Gauges in pic look a little cheap but better than nothing. Wiring is not a plug n play like the Vettaid it appears. Too bad he went out of business.

We can tell by looking at it, that they are not "individual" gauges like Vettaid used. That is why the ones from them were customizable as to bezel color, gauge face color, etc.

It is also why they are not as expensive. A very large part of the expense from Vettaid was the price of the gauges themselves.

The speedometer for my purposes, and it is nothing really fancy, not GPS, does have turn signals and high beams is $209.00. The 8K tach is $140. So now we are at $350 with tax.

The 2 1/6" dia oil pressure gauge, at $160 puts us at $510.00, more than the Intellitronix gauge off eBay sells for, especially with free shipping.

As I talked about in my other threads about gauge panels, the cost is prohibitive to the majority of C4 owners. This would be a really good way to get an analog dash, especially if the dash in someone's car was needing repaired in these early C4 cars.

I would think it would be better to have a digital cluster repaired by Battee . Just my opinion. You get what you pay for. The Vetteaid had Autometer gauges. I think I paid 1 K for mine in my 89. If I could do it all over I would have had the original cluster repaired.

Intellitronix is a pretty big company. They are north of me in the Cleveland area. They also offer a lifetime warranty. I wouldn't worry at all about them
