Are you sure dude? Can you give us some link about what you have read? All I know is that Pontiac Trans-Am 1987 and the 1987 does.

Re: Digital Dash?

I've never heard of a factory digital dash in an 85 bird. Are you sure it wasnt something from dakota digital or nordiscog?

Re: Digital Dash?

You know It may have been for the '87. I lost track of where I read it as it was in a conversation with a 3rd gen buddy. So the the next question would be if a digital dash could be dropped into a '85?

Re: Digital Dash?

I have an almost complete berlinetta dash like that, with the standalone radio pedestal thing and all. All i'm missing is the right side controls, I have the left side.

I'm looking at an '82 with this dash, to buy, probably getting it on the 14th. I'll put some pictures up!

Re: Digital Dash?

Check the VIN number. This dash system wasn't installed until 1984 and was then only used until April of 86.

The 10th digit of the VIN will tell you what year it is. "E" = 1984, "F" = 85, and so on.
