gauges and dash question

[kcoyle]

There is a car near me for sale I was contemplating ( for nowhere near the advertised price) but the interior is "busy" to say the least. Is it possible to remove "white face gauges" and a "wood grain dash" without destroying the car?
I'm guessing they are glued on but not sure, maybe someone here is familiar with these items.

Sorry for the whole link, I was unable to just poach a picture and attach it here.

Wow, that IS asking a lot (WAY too much, actually) for an early N/A. I didn't feel like looking at all of those pics, but I would say that yes, you could easily replace the dash without destroying the car. Oh, and what exactly did you mean by "busy", mice?

I guess I mean theres a lot of colors/patterns going on.

Brown and tan interior with white face gauges, wood grain dash, black/white checkerboard seat, white(??) steering wheel, chrome pedals. It would be distracting for me to drive.

yeah that interior looks like it's having an identity crisis.

That's WAY to much for that car. I would only get it if it was in VERY good mechanical condition and the seller was willing to knock at least $2k off the price.

I've never heard the term "busy" used to describe an interior, and my first thought was that it was evident that the mice were very busy building their nests. I suppose If I would have looked at some of the pics, I would have understood what you are saying. My bad. When I clicked on the link and saw what was being asked for the vehicle, my laziness kicked in to where I didn't need to see the pics. No matter how good they could have been, it could never be worth that much.

Don't really know what to say ,agree on the price way to much for an 83.Interior is certainly funny looking & not everybody cup of tea but in general the car is certainly well kept (engine bay is real nice )exterior look very decent ,coming back to the interior beside the wood fascia -gauges & wheels if you take a closer look at the doors panels-dash-seats ect they do look in pretty darn good shape for an 83.Also there is mention of the belts -tune-up new battery so mechanically the car should be sound .If the clutch been done recently an offer of $4,ooo will certainly sound rigth to me.

I personally think porsche should not have ever offered the brown interior in a red car. I think that just about the only place the brown interior might look good is in a brown car.
