i called AA to check status in beginning of March to check on my order and was told that these were being made in India and the factory was closed for now.
I did get the volt and oil temp already just not the clock.

I'll sell it for one million dollars.

Very good point. For 30 blessed minutes I actually forgot about covid. Doesn't explain the delay pre-covid, but definitely explains it post.

Funny, when I was a kid, just loved the center console in a 914 gave it a nice vertical dimension and a luxurious look and feel. NOW in my old age, I just love the simplicity of the center tray and cushion and sea to shining sea (I mean rocker panel) emptiness and massive foot and leg room



Same as @dr914 @autoatlanta.com, I used to love the console look but as I grew older I began to see it as a pain as it had to be removed whenever access to cables or shifter was required and now I like the look without it. It's much more spacious and air circulation is better. What I'd really like a a horizontal holder for these 3 gauges under the dash. I think VDO used to make one but long since gone. A tray just around the shifter in original material (same size as original piece) would also be nice. Been looking at how to make my own.

Will the group buy price of $49 still be honored?

Or is this a dead issue?

At this rate, you could’ve put the amount this cost into the stock market, then cashed put and used the proceeds to have Palo Alto modify your clock to a digital setup (using the stock face of course) and still had money left over for a couple nice steak dinners with the wife!

I’m in (and already wondering if I can swap faces on it with my original clock face so it says vdo on it)


Great that this is an option! Thanks all that contributed. Has anyone done the "Clock Face Swap" with an original to have the VDO mark? Curious about the procedure and any pitfalls. How does the final look compared to original? If the bezel is different, can the original bezel also be attached?

If anyone has a decent defunct factory clock left over after buying one of these that they don’t need, I’d be interested in purchasing. I have a movement left over that may work.
