No kidding, I didn't know about that one. Well, I guess that's 3 cars now, because the one I was thinking of was the Chrysler LeBaron, so I guess we can lump that in with the other Dodges and whatnot. Even into the '90s the LeBaron had the switch on the gauge surround. It confounded a tech I worked with, he was inspecting the car for a state safety inspection and couldn't find the turn signals.

Probe was going to be my answer too. Now was it the Probe or a Mistu that the gauge cluster and everything tilted with the column?

My first thought when I saw that dash:
"Use the Force, Luke."
It even has a keypad for entering coordinates 
.
Actually it's a keypad for the factory immobilizer (just in front of the gearlever).
the one I was thinking of was the Chrysler LeBaron,
Has the EXACT same dashboard as the daytonas i mentioned. It was 90 or 91 through 95 that had that dash in lebarons.
Hmmm... I thought those were rwd... maybe the previous gen with the quad headlights?
I made an offer of roughly half the BIN, and was shot down. They say they will take no less than $5500 for the car. I think they will be sitting on it a long time at that price.
for the THREE people who want one in the universe he 's on crack
^^^ you need to help me fix my 90 Mitsu van!! Are you available to hire for an afternoon of troubleshooting?

Is that a Speak & Spell in front of the gearshift?
I just like that it says DIG IT. I am currently digging it. 
Bring back big knobs and buttons on sound systems!

The entire gauge pod moved with the steering wheel in the probe. My first car was an 89 Probe GL.
I want that car sooo bad. But I'm not entire sure it's worth $8K.
