[W126 Coupe] RE: 560 SEC/SEl instrument cluster

[Jim Nowak]

I haven't brought this up in a while.  However, I'm
going to do it again since Eddie's project never
really got off the ground.  There is a chance we can
still get the El gauges manufactured.  See attached
email.  We are really close to getting to the magic
number.

If you are interested, sign up for the gauges at
http://www.speedhut.com/15orders_el_detail.asp?auto_number=39&bhcp=1
 I know it says that they are 99.99 but as you can see
from the email below that we can move forward at the
new price of $129.95.  I have these in my Porshe and
they look great.
