It has an interesting instrument cluster too, I haven't seen one like it before.
It's an electronic one, but everything is blacked out and looks flush, Except for the mileage read-out which is the dial type off to the right (had about 97-197k miles) and the gear readout is at the bottom going horizontal.
Only has like 2 buttons on it.

But yea, has other options like power fuel door, Premium Sound, Full light package, Chrome mirrors, Maintenance light bezel, Power antenna, Dual lighted visors, Carpeted floor mats, Tilt wheel, Illuminated locks...

**Edit
Cluster is just an average '83 Electronic, Just haven't seen one before and did not know they changed it in '84.
Anyone have a picture of an '83 Electronic Cluster lit up?

Hit up the junkyard again today, Had those wing window doors on my mind all week...
And came home with them!
Pics later, I'm worn out, I had no idea how heavy these doors are.

And i really hope theres a harness/wire disconnect plug thinger behind the door panel or else i'm gonna have alot of wiring to do (I pulled the wire harness from the door all the way back from under the carpet and didn't find one, So i just clipped it...).

Also picked up an un-cracked dash, Woodgrain dash panels, Leather wrapped woodgrain steering wheel and some outside trim pieces. :D

And i found tickets on the Heritage for its reason being there...
It was a public nuisance, Owner was told to remove the vehicle and did not comply, So the vehicle was impounded. :punchballs:
Then it showed up at the Junkyard... ?

It's sad to see these cars in here, But they will help make my car something amazing and live on through mine. :)

here's one of mine at power-up (there should be a check engine light there somewhere but it's not hooked up) and the silver band is where the prndl was, but since i have a floor shifter now, i covered it up... some day it'll say cougar or something like that :)
also, check out the mileage.... 3719 original miles... i wish :)..... also, the 2 buttons, one is for trip reset, the other switches from mph to kph.... now, that's fine with the speedo, but wtf do canadians do about the mileage :stupid:


OOOH!!!  I'm a Eco Hypermiler :burnout: Not bad for 79mph on the interstate 2hours a day
