Hey Guys, used to tool around here and figured I would let everyone see this, it's almost over though.


Camaro Flashlight

Camaro Flashlight on E-Bay

 

I can't believe people are willing to pay that much.

 

I agree. At this posting, the bidding is at $27. I only paid $50 for a complete overhead in near mint condition.

Sold the one out of my husbands totalled iroc for 49.00 off of ebay. Hell they are hard to come by, if you buy a used car they are normally NOT there. & if they are they are broken.

& Many ppl have lost thiers through the years.

 

I still wouldn't pay $50 for a flashlight that looks similar to one you can get at the dollar store.

 

they only made the roof console for 3 years that in itself is a pretty rare item.

the other day i missplaced my camaro flashlight and literally threw the biggest fit ever LOL, till i found it in my jacket pocket.

 

As mentioned, the flash light, an engineering nightmare, seems far more rare (lost, broken, misplaced) than the consoles themselves. I have four or five bodies in the garage, but not one has the flash light. I've always believed that the leather pouch and flash light area would be a wonderful place to put various switches/guages, but....

When I bought my '87 IROC used back in late '88, the flashlight was missing. At the time I didn't know what that hole in the console was for.

After learning that a flashlight went in the hole, I went to the Chevy dealer and bought one for IIRC, $8. They had a bunch of them on the shelf.....should have bought them all

 

well For Most dealerships around here dont carry them anymore
So finding them at a dealer is rare.

 

Yeah, rare nowadays. Keep in mind that I bought mine at a dealership over 10 years ago.

I wonder how often a dealership dumps inventory that isn't moving? Especially low dollar cost items like console flashlights. Perhaps in the future someone will sell NOS flashlights "purchased from a going-out-of-business dealership"....at a premium of course.

 

*Do you wish to place your Ebay For Sale Ad '82-92 Firebird/Camaro Flashlight', Starting Bid: $70?*


*click* Yes.

 

i bought my car from the origonal owner. he kept everything stock and in working order. so i still have my "Trans AM" flashlight in the overhead console, lol does anyone every put funny things onto the useless number dials? "recreation 420, service 69"

 

I use ine to keep track of races won/lost

 

thats a good idea man, how bout number of dates that i fold down the split fold down seat or not? lol

 

I founf 2 camaro ones in the yards. Of course that was after getting 5 overhead consoles. I traded even for a firebird one. They usually sell for 25-30 bucks from the used part guys...Tell you I will definately snag them at teh yard when I see them...

 

I use one of the number dials to put how many gallons of gas I put in my car, then the tripometer to see how many miles I get, and the other number dial for miles per gallon.

unless my brother decides to mess with them, then they say 420 lol

 

My Berlinetta still has it's flashlight, and it works too. Hmmm....

 

Thats what I got my over head consoles out of that still had the flashlights. I guess berlinetta owners are more careful about the flashlights...
