OK, I was going through the salvage yard today and found an 82' Camaro with a big @$$ Quartz clock in the console. This is the first I have ever seen and was wondering is it worth anything to anyone? I though it look kind of dumb but to someone, it might be the part they are looking for.

 

They're not particularly uncommon. 85 was the final year for them. More often than not, one of the hands is broken or curled, the face is scratched badly, and the innards themselves don't work. I have a functioning one in my car. If nothing else, it's a cool conversation piece.

second hand was broken...

 

Any idea how much they wanted for it?

 

Their price list has 'clock and small gauges' for a hair over $6. This particular one was in pretty rough shape or else I'd have grabbed it for the garage wall.

 

naf are you talking about the Camaro at Pull A Part? If so, that is the one I am referring to. I have had a 87' Firebird and I am currently restoring a 86' T/A that is only one of six that I have had for almost 12 years and I have never seen this option before. It is kind of tacky if you ask me.

 

Just for general info:

Clock, quartz RPO U35

1982/14,166
1983/1,992
1984/1,840
1985/809

As far as I know the clock was only equipped in cars with an AM radio, which didn't provide a clock.

As always 'tacky' is in the eyes of the beholder.

Yeah. I'm getting started back on my 84 Berli as soon as I get my 85 TA back out of the garage.

 

I have seen a few Camaro's with them and IMO it's so 80's cool lOL!
