Dashboard firebird 1987

I was looking on firebirds from 1987 and i didnt see anyone with the same dashboard as mine.
How is this posible?

Have mine been changed or what?

Heres a picture of my dash.

Re: Dashboard firebird 1987

I've got four large guages on mine, not two large and 12? small like yours. Are the small ones idiot lights instead of guages?

Re: Dashboard firebird 1987

looks like an aftermarket dash to me. it almost looks like the small holes are hiding the other gauges but i cant really tell.

Re: Dashboard firebird 1987

Nope, factory piece. It was primarily a base model car without the "Rally Gauges" as they put it. All it had was gas, speed, and a butt load of dummy lights instead of gauges. Very 2nd gen feel in a vague way. I've got a dashboard that is identical at home out of an '87 bird, base model, nothing special. You just see more people going to 4 gauges, or, for the fact that it was so cheap back then to order it with the rally gauges, many people opted for it.
