    $200 for Porsche Yellow VDO Clock?! Crazy or rare?

    05-07-2012 05:33 PM #1
    Is this guy for real?

    Ebay Link

    I have one sitting on my work bench with the matching oil pressure gauge in much better condition.

    Is it really that rare/special?

    Also another question, I have a clock in my caddy that illuminates green.

    Anyone know of a voltmeter and oil temp combo that also illuminate green? Would love a matching set.

    That's what I'm saying! I've seen a bunch.

    Didn't see that disclaimer though lol guess that's what he is counting on. Damn scammers.

    But 200 for any gauge is ridiculous (except for defis)

    yup.. I had a 924, traded it for a pickup, had two spare sets of the gages... and I know there are 2 924s in the JY and one 944... and another 924 parked in the woods.

    Oh ow. I had a full set of those 924 gauges....guess I'd better dig them out.

    On a more serious note, anyone buying anything from that guy was taken for a ride.
