>1-Are Dash Pads available aftermarket - original was cracked pretty bad. Yep, the full front pad is available for the Elkys and Montes (same dash) and they are $120..... >2- Door window weatherstriping? Cracked too. Yep, they are available from several different parts houses....about $150 per door/window >3- Original style upholstery? Driver seat had a couple of small tears & >burns. Rest of interior looked surprisingly good. This you may have to go through an interior shop to find, but pretty sure you can get just about any color that the factory had. >Body was pretty straight with a repaint that looked a year or two old. >Fiberglass cowl style hood. It was surprisingly sturdy, didn't bow or >sag as I raised & lowered and it looked very well finished underneath. >Driver door was very loose & sounded like things inside were >loose/rattled. Passenger side was solid. Bed was very straight only a >few minor dings. The rattling doors are a constant problem with this year bracket of Elkys....easily fixed when you get inside and figure out what's loose. >Dash had gauges and "Super Sport" script on glove box. Does VIN ID a >true SS? No...only build sheet can tell this. The SS logo is easily faked, but the clues are (front spoiler, rally wheels, lower body stripes and accent color. > On coupes, there is a sticker on trunk lid which details >options, where is this sticker on an elky? Never seen one on an Elky. >Shifter was a T-Handle, but console did not have any kind of lens to tell >you which gear you are >in. Is this correct? Yes, the indicator was in the dash for all models....steering column will turn with shifter as well.... > Is correct tranny 200r4? Yes it is unfortunately. They can be made good, but it takes a whole bucket of money to do it...I hate 'em....a 700R4 is the better choice for a street machine >It had an overhead >console installed. It looked "factory" but I'm doubting that one was >available - any info on this? None from the factory that I know of, but then I've never seen the resto pack for the 86-88's...they didn't come on any other model year for a fact. >Motor (305??) Yep....another unfortunate thing...the 305's weren't nearly as reliable as the 350's....change it before it tanks.... > had open element air cleaner. So I'm assuming not stock >carb. Could be...they came with Q-jets until the demise. >What should it have. Was cruise control standard on these? I >didn't notice a transducer for it. No, it was an option....most had it though. > I'm gonna stop by again this afternoonon my way to work. He's asking 5k. > If it runs & drives well I may go for it. If the motor is relatively new or low mileage original, might not be a bad deal >Thanx for your time/info. >rick schaefer No problem Kelly C.
