    Default 79 dash w/ 86 console

    will the 86GT console match up to a 79 dash?

    The consoles from 79 to 86 were the same, just different colors. The dashes were slightly different, but most can never tell the difference. They'll look fine together.

    Yeah I remember that now but what about the diagram of the car that shows when lights are out and low fuel? wondering if there would be enough clearance. Guess I will just have to see if my console fits when the car gets here. Thanks

    There were some slight differences in the graphic warning display, but only in the way the graphic appeared. There was no difference in the physical dimensions of the display.

    The display/clock on the 79 is also a bit nicer looking than the 83+ ones.

    I don't know if the display is in the car. I found a piece of the console with the ashtray in it but it was broken and the car is full of parts so not sure what all is in there. Thanks for the help
