cup holders

My Z (unfortunatly) did not come with any cupholders (how dare they). But it did come with an analog clock in the center console. Does anybody know where I can get a cupholder to fit in it's place? What kind of car would have one that would fit?

IMO, leave the rare Camaro console clock there. Add the door mounted cupholders with integral map pockets that came on 90+ Firebirds. I added them to my car and discovered that the mounting holes are already in the inner door panels. You just have to get some of the square plugs to pop into those 3 holes (I found license plate mounts fit perfectly) then punch the 3 holes in the door trim piece. Good luck, Lon.

That only works if you have power windows.

I had no idea the clock was rare. Now I'm mad because I rear-ended a guy three months ago and I hit him so hard it broke the second hand off and the lack of weight has made the clock totally innaccurate to the point of uselessness.
Now that I know they are rare, anyone got a clue where I could find a new one? Just in case I ever sell it and want to get top dollar (hopefully) as an original car.

You're in luck. I did some research a while back and found the only source for parts and service for these clocks. Originally made by Wesclox, the entire inventory of parts was purchased by "the Clock Doc" (800)256-5362. Bill is the contact. He may be able to repair yours or sell you a reconditioned one. He also can mill the face of the clock so it looks like new again. Good luck, Lon.
