I saw this gauge panel a couple days ago...was at $50 bucks. I thought, hmm maybe as a spare...but not for 50 bucks. Then today - it ended..at $355! They aren't even real gauges! :rolleyes:

Clue for you: Marauder parts are sought after. Try to go buy one from the dealer and see how much it is.

No, I completely understand that. I have another car (albiet much older) that suffers from the same problem...Just never ceases to amaze me how over-inflated things can get sometimes...

That was actually my auction. I pulled that panel out of my DTR when it was new, replaced the whole panel with a new one and real autometer gauges.

I listed that panel for a penny, no reserve. Look what happened.

I almost felt guilty when it got to 75 dollars, but then I realized, this is the free market, people can pay what they feel its worth...

Hopefully, with only 2 previous winning bids, the buyer pays up. :)

He paid 30 seconds after the auction ended, and I printed the label and gave it to the UPS driver already.

excuse my ignorance but i thought the gauges were "real" gauges and it was just the sending unit (on/off switch) that were "fake".

if you try to hook a different sending unit to the oil pressure gauge it's not gonna work

want1, you're half right. The voltmeter is real, the OP gauge is a fake. You need to replace both the sender and the gauge unit to get true readings.

Does this mean you want your 355.00 back?
