84 Camaro Berlinetta Digital Odomoeter

Hey Guys and Gals,

Does anyone know if the digital odometer on an 1984 berlinetta is a six digit display (i.e. 100000 read) or a five digit display (i.e. after 99999 it would reset to 00000)?

I just purchased an 84 Berlinetta and since Pennsylvannia exempts cars from recording mileage on the title I was left, sort of, in the dark with the amount of mileage on it. As far as I know, the car was a garage car and a one owner car. The engine is surprisingly clean and the body doesn't have rust on it, with minimal rust spotting starting on the floorboards.

The odometer reads 31400 and I am inclined to believe that, except, I have convinced myself that the odometer went from 99999 to 00000 at 100k miles.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Just joined, hope I followed proper etiquette (sp?).

Re: 84 Camaro Berlinetta Digital Odomoeter

here is a pic from one that sold on ebay, it has 6 digits and is listed as an 84 -86, does not give a specific year so Im not 100% if this could have changed over the 3 years.

you should be able to look very closely at your gauge and see how many digits it has when it is on, you will see a faint unlit digit on the left.

Thanks Jez, I'll inspect/use a small flash light if i have to to try the display out. I agree with you, I doubt much changed over the three years. The pic looked good, glad mine is still in the dash!!

Yep, the Berlinetta dash will read out six digits, example 123,786 and not roll back to zeros at 99,999.
