What should I do with the console clock?

What do yall think. I have an 83 Camaro SC with a console clock. Only 1,992 were made that year with console clock. Should I try to sell it (with console and find one without it) or keep it? I heard they go pretty good on ebay.

I've got one in my 85 IROC (only 800 odd made that year). I removed mine, blew it out with canned air, then drenched it WD-40, worked the hands a few tims, and it has worked fine. I think they're kind of cool. By the way, I see several at the various yards I hang out in.

I originally planned to turn the clock area into a cup holder, but after a while it really began to grow on me and I decided to keep it. I took mine apart, cleaned all of the gears, put it back together and it still only works intermittantly. But, the new ones cost so much, I'll probably try cleaning it again.

Oh that really sucks, mine must be faded cause it just looks white (with a little bit of yellow).
