Good luck with that....I've been looking for a while myself. The last year that is.....

You might as well just bite the bullet and buy the new reproduction that is available...that way you don't have to pay so much for an original that needs the clock fixed, etc, etc....

NPD has them for $479.95 plus shipping. I've seen cheaper repro's on Ebaymotors. I wanted to do the same thing, but bought a new Haneline dash instead. You can see the dash much better at night and it has an integrated tach. Kept the old dash so I can go back to original if I want to. The entire dash was under $500 with gauges, couldn't see myself spending $480 just on a Rally Pac, but if you want the original look it's the only way to go.

So basically all you are after are some fine champagnes but at beer prices? Not much to ask eh? Good luck, no one gives away "key" items in this hobby like that unless they have zero clue what is in their possesion. That's why even now that they repro items like this they get a a ton of money for them, way more demand then supply. I'd think about setting your sites lower when faced with budget constraints, you'll be happier in the end besides quite often wanting is better than having. Keep items like this in the long term plan and in the meantime keep your eyes open for one that can be refinished or salvaged from somewhere.

I had mine manufactured. I bought the castingon ebay, installed new aftermarket gauges, custom machining and painted. I have $300 into it.

Here's a pic...

Thanks for the link but im in canada so that would still be over $400 :P even if i can find just the giage housing (besels) and i can put aftermarket guages in.

Thanks for the help...

i guess after watching this thread you really dont want a rally pac! people who have to pay for cars as parts cars to get the rally pac arent going to let them go for less than market value ask me how i know? heres a pic of my rally pacs and no there not for sale!

oh and you can only see 4 of the 8 i have and this is just one room in my house not my workshop or garage!

bite the bullett quite winning and buy one they will only go up in price!
