Re: overhead console???

Ive seen this mostly in firebirds. Never seen one in a camaro. Looks like its missing the swivel light in the center there. Other then that its not hard to install and looks pretty cool. Check the tech articles about doing an overhead console and it has instructions. I want one but am going to wait until i decide if i want to swap to black interior first(everyone does black tho so idk yet lol)

There were a ton of them in both Camaros and Firebirds from 84-87 or so. The flashlight is labeled either Camaro or Firebird depending on car. There are two different versions due to the roofline, the coupe and the t-top. The install is straightforward:

http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/fa...oth-types.html (Differences and Pics of Both Types of Overhead Consoles)

I'd suggest buying one only when you can buy it complete (check the link above for the various parts) as purchasing the parts separately can be difficult and expensive. I've seen the flashlight go for as much as $50. Advertise for one in the board classifieds.

BTW, the one on ebay is not only missing the swivel light but the flashlight, wiring pigtail (overhead to car), and mounting screws.

One button turns the swivel light on, which is missing (check post #3 in the link below for a closer pic); the other turns on the dome light.

The upper roll has the following:

Business

Celebration
Appointment
Financial

The lower roll:

Crazy, cool, and useless.

Re: overhead console???

If I were you I would get better pics of it if you're going to bid on the one on Ebay. Also some of the back in case you need the leads.

They seem to all be missing something when you find them, but it's mostly the swivel light/lens and the flashlight. It's very rare to find one where the elastic for the pouch isn't hanging.


I was going to go through and get rid of some of mine that I've collected but the prices vary so much I'm not sure what to sell them for.
