Cimmaron showed up at Parts Galore. Leather interior, pretty rusty, mostly there.

Anyone need anything?

What color interior?
This should have the console with the arm rest.

Tan leather. The arm rest is there, but in pretty bad shape.

Paul, I'd be interested in the benzel and matching trim at the headlight switch, and heater control area .
Got a pict to give you an idea. Also while you are in the neighborhood,like the instrument cluster if it has the speedo w/tripometer.
Seems the old one I installed in my Pontiac is not up to the usage, the tripometer hundreds digit keeps tripping over every 10 miles. It is an older design that you have to push in and turn - which rotates all the digits till you get all zeros. The newer one has a simple push button to zero all the digits.


Here is the dash stuff .....

Here is a shot of the older speedo I'm Not wanting...

...and the one I'm hoping is on the Caddy, that I Do want...

I hoping these picts help and not just confuse you more. I'm not in any hurry now, won't have the funds till the 19th anyways.
So if you happen to be going out that way , and feel like pulling them, I'd like to get them for the Pontiac.
Thanks!! :-)

Orlen-

Good Descriptions. I will be heading back there this weekend and will give you an update after then.

SCORE for ORLEN.

I will post pics when I get back, but I got the IP (fully loaded with all gauges), the ip bezel, and all 3 pieces of the lower bezel (headlight, under wheel, and heater sections). All in great shape. There is a center console with arm rest and cubbies in this car. I will have to get that later as I ran out of time today. I am also going to get the glovebox liner as it is different than any that I have seen. The car interior is GREY - not sure why I thought tan, maybe because the leater is ripped so bad that is what you see.

It is an 85 model that looks like it was on the road until recently.

Thank You Paul!! 3 CHEERS!!

Got a PM off to you with mailing info. Really excited!! I'll really enjoy putting this in the Pontiac. I've been so very lucky to get some GREAT goodies for my J's !! It isn't as easy to tinker like this on the newer stuff - got so much electronics , airbags and stuff.

Thanks again !!

YEA!!!! My Pontiac is already getting excited!! I am really surprised all that plastic is is such great shape, as old as it is I was just hoping for it to just not be cracked or broken. Thank you Paul!! :-)

Ron-

Not sure how a 1985 Cadillac made it this long in Michigan, but I could not pass it up - that is for sure. This even had the fitted Cadillac floor mats - they were shot, but still there.

I may go back next weekend for the console. I don't need it it, but I am sure someone will at some point.

Yep, it was cold. And that console was STUBBORN. I hope I did not damage it too much. I will post pics after I get things cleaned up.

Here is the prize I was after. I will have to get it recovered to match my interior, but I have all the parts I want...






Re: Cimmaron Parts

Now that is a part I had yet to see.I wondered what it was like.At least it can be recovered and have that new fresh smell of vinyl.Guess maybe one day I will see one here idk.

Ron-

I test fit it in the car - PERFECT. Now I have to see what the local trim place wants to recover it in dark grey... That will be the expensive part.

Got my Console cleaned up today and also got my new carpet this week for the tan Cav convertible. I also have a spare tan leather armrest if anyone needs one from an 86 Cimarron.

Finding myself browsing gauges on all J's these days. That is a very unusual gauge pack on your 'vert , John.
It has everything except the tach, rather surprised GM would go that far to make such a cluster and associated parts , when they could have just used a complete set. First one I've seen like yours so far - might be pretty rare, there!! :-)

Re: Cimmaron Parts

Yeah,

When you guys started talking about tachs I had to think, does my brown one have the gauges and no tach? I had to look at this picture to remember what it looked like.

Whao john your floor pans need a touch of rust removal.I am guessing you will clean it up and make it better.And hope to start doodling with the doors some this wk on packing them I hope.Last wk just tied up doing other stuff and may try junkyarding this wk on thur when I should have some extra time.



Re: Cimmaron Parts

Ron,

Thanks again for the doors!
I repaired (stripped, welded, primed and painted) the floor pans last spring. That's an old picture as the car is in storage until mid March as long as we have a snow free winter up here in MA.
