Saw this ad on craigslist, first time ive seen what looks to be a digital corvette dash in a camaro. Thought it was kind of interesting so I figured id share it. what do you think?

I've seen that car before while searching.

It's not a Camaro though, you can tell by the way to the Top meets the A-pillar, and the crazy high door sills and console.

 

yea, thats just a stock c4. 84-87 judging by the graphite interior. definitely not a camaro

 

Uhhh...yeah, that's definitely a 1984-85 Corvette. Those were the only years that had the same power door lock switches as third gens.

That being said, I'd say the price just went down if they're trying to advertise it as a Camaro (1984-85 Corvettes are junk and everyone has one in the same crap condition as this one since they're worth nothing and are expensive to fix up). Also note the silver door jambs in the photo.

 

Some people don't know there cars.

 

haha didnt even notice that.. must have been to busy looking at the dash to notice the rest of the car. but its pretty obvious now that you mention it. atleast they got the other pictures right

 

I think it would be a cool project if anybody ever decided to try it. The top pad looks similar. I wonder how different the dimensions are and if it would fit without too much modification. Personally, I've always loved the C4 "Atari" cluster and there's several companies out there that restore them fairly inexpensively nowdays. It would be a much better choice than the 4th gen dash swap IMO.

 

Ya it would be insteresintg. I like it better than the 4th gen swap too. that dash definatly screams 80's!

 

I thought they were cool too until I started working a pre-owned Corvette dealership. They're not so fun when they don't light up or read correctly. It was a cool concept though, and I definitely think an early C4 dash would look more at home in a 3rd gen than a 4th gen dash.
