So I was surfing the classifieds and came across a brand new (NOS) console cover for my 84 camaro.. The guy is asking $100. I know they sell aftermarket ones for like 150. Anyhow maybe I should buy it and try to re sell it for more.

i wouldnt, iv found more then a few OEM ones in junkyard camaros that wer either mint condition or damn near perfect, the one in my iroc was outa a 1988 RS and its literaly flawless paid $15

 

Rite on, thats good advice. I just ebayed one and was an oem one and they wanted $250

 

Guess it depends where you go...I've looked at every third gen every time I've been to a junkyard since 2005, and I have yet to find one with a console lid that's not broken or de-laminated. Most of the time they're missing completely.

I say buy it, sounds like a steal if it really is NOS GM.

 

Yeah it is a real NOS gm piece, even has the gm packaging with the gm part number on it. I searched the part number and it is a genuine part. Wishing money grew on trees.....then it would be a no brainer.

 

FWIW, the ones that were missing probably were mint. They're extremely hard to find at a Upull that has a fair amount of traffic.

 

I got at lkq junkyard from 3 different cars. Got mint center console, the plastic pieces abovevthe door panels and the rubber window sweaps on the outside of the door. So u can have luck at scrap yards just keep looking

 

In my junkyard travels I can usually find good console lids.Have at least 6 of them right now

 

I paid $5 for mine at the junk yard. It's 95% flawless. Haven't seen another one since. Guess everyone needs them since they aren't 'load bearing' (passengers get in and use elbow with all of their weight before you can tell 'em DON'T DO THAT!)
