I haven't seen them for that year because I want a set too.They make them for the 84-85 dash but I don't want to swap over because I like the looks of this one.Good luck and let us know if you find them.They're having a group buy on the 84,85 ones on here.

What do the gauges on an 83 look like? Mine is an 84 and looks like this.

Man you guys are so lucky, I have the stupid 85 mph speedometer on my 80. Does anyone know what a good replacement speedometer would be?

Maybe my 84, being an Australian 84 is more akin to the 83 in America. I've been finding this more and more with wiring manuals and stuff. My 84 is like a cross between the 83 and 84 SE or something. Its a bit difficult to figure out. I mean I have the removable sunroof and full electrics (power windows, antenna, mirrors, etc), and it also came with the three part stereo that came with two amps mounted in the boot. But it has a lot of 83 stuff like the centre dash and stuff like horizontal sliders for the air vents.





I've modded the interior from stock slightly in this pic.
