I followed the link to this ebay auction and saw the clock/fuel gauge. The ad states, "The mechanism will need to be repaired or replaced before the clock will work. Also the glass is cracked. This is a very unusual part which was listed as Rarest of the Rare by HotVWs in 1993." The ad then reads, "It will certainly set your Squareback, Fastback or Notchback apart from the crowd!" I don't really think this gauge would set my car apart at all...you see cars at VW shows all the time with non-working clocks with broken glass. Come to think of it I have a box of non-working clocks...even a couple combos...but all is fair on ebay ;-) Duane > On the same subject: > > http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?item=2446508549 > > Next I'm going to sell my old shock absorbers, and then my torn CV boots ;~) > > Daniel > > > > > > > Hello again Greg, you're obviously new in the VW scene.
