Center Console, What is a reasonable price... Options

[dagdal1967]

Hey all,

I'm just starting to look at center consoles for my 73 914, and have no idea at what price is fair.

I know that good original (intact) consoles are getting more and more hard to come by, so what kind of price should I be looking at.

There is one out of a 73 on e-bay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2410555110&category=33695) starting off at $95 and with a BuyItNow price of $160.. Is that a good/fair/average/piss-take price?

I really have no idea! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Thanks in advance for the help!

If the gauges worked, it would be a good price, yeah.

Looks like it could use some clean-up. Or maybe there's vinyl damage and the seller's way of hiding it is to not wipe the piece down.

Good point about the gauges and the vinyl. How difficult would it be to take it apart and replace the the covering.

Maybe I should make my own and create some more stage nearer the driver.. 've done stuff like this before, and my dad used to re-finish furniture, so has experience at vinyl and leather covering..

Always wondered why the glove box was sooo bloody far away..

Hmmm... Might be worth waiting till I get home and survey the car myself to see how I feel at the time.

Still.. nice to know what I should be paying for one in nice condition.. So I will know for next time.

Thanks guys!
