What would you think the gauges and face plate alone are worth Eddie? Like I say I don't know if they work. Everything looks intact. I wonder if there is a seperate wireing harness added to theses cars when the gauges are installed or if it is built into the standard wireing harness? The gauges themselves have a pigtail with a rectangular plug on the end to plug into the car. I think this is a slick looking design and should look real nice with some Autometer gauges in it to match the tac I am putting in place of the clock.
