buy the odometer gears and replace before installing... Bonus that it comes with the wireharness so it can be fitted anywhere it will physically fit.

Damn, if only I still had my '90

It looks to be in better shape than the one I got, and for slightly less money (not by much). If the seller is willing to ship I'd say it's still a good deal even with the cost of shipping added on.

^ +1 Definitely get replacement gears unless, like me, you already have replacement gears in your current unit. The lousy gears of turn-to-wax fail are pretty much guaranteed to be useless, crumbling pieces of wax.

That's what I thought, figured I'd put it up here for anyone who wanted it.

That almost looks like it can fit in a '92-94 Grand Marquis... can it?

It will fit, but I think someone who has experience with such new cars would be able to tell you better what needs to be done (if anything) to make it work. I think u have to swap the circuit in the back of the cluster, but I could be wrong.

It will fit and it will work. The cluster is exactly the same as the 92-94 GM cluster.
But you do have to change out the printed circuit to the 92-94 GM.
And you loose the o/d light.

That's what I thought, but having pretty much zero experience with any panther newer than 91 I wasn't sure.
I'm drawing a blank... what is the "o/d light" again?

Overdrive.

I made a deal with the guy for the gauges, $50 shipped. He won't accept a Postal Money order, only CASH. So I told him no. Oh well.

[sly]

only cash... yeah... avoid.

[Midnight Drifter]

Very tempting then. For local pickup I mean. MA isn't too far away...

[Midnight Drifter]

Did you call this guy, text or email? I shot him a text but now I'm wondering if it's a landline lol

Well, not sure if I waited too long but I shot the guy an e-mail. If he still has it for sale I'll be making a trek to Massachusetts (likely with my Mirage, fuel costs) for pickup. Even if having an 85 mph speedo wasn't an issue, mine becomes more and more optimistic after 50-55MPH. 85 is really 72-ish. So yeah. Will do the gear and circuit swap at the same time, along with adding LED's so I never have to touch them again.
