quick question about IROC Gauge cluster?

I have a 85 Z28 and I have the crappy gauge cluster right now that only goes to 85 or something. Half of it is MPH other half is KM/H anyways I am going to switch it out and was wondering how much a 145mph gauge cluster would cost used? I have seen them on ebay for anywhere from $120 up to $200 or so. I have been bidding on one and now its past $40 is it really worth it or should I just get a 115 mph one that nobody has bid on yet for $10.00?

The 115 is better than 85. The 145's are getting expensive, no doubt. If you have a Pik-N-Pull near you go take a look. I've found three in the last year or so. Go early and often.

Worth is up to you. IIRC, I paid $50 at a yard. If you're not satisfied with the 85er, will you be satisfied with the 110? Whatever you decide do it right the first time and safe yourself some money.

Re: quick question about IROC Gauge cluster?

Well the only reason that I am getting a new one is because all the pointers on my gauges are broke. And I have read lots of stuff on this site about people switching them out for a 145mph. It really doesn't matter to me, the car will just be a daily driver so I won't be doing 125 down the highway because that would be just stupid. how fast can these really go and what is the limiter set too? Thank you for the Replys.

Re: quick question about IROC Gauge cluster?

In my 84 it has the same 85 MPH with the double needle for KMH. I dont know the exact price, but I went to an Ecology in Adelanto and paid $67 for a complete Gauge cluster (115mph), door panels, some other interior plastics, and tons of little things here and there. It was a good deal, the cluster is really clean!
