Guys'n Gals! As part of my Console Restoration plans, I am offering the first step: Tachometer HOUSING Exchange service. These housings, available on '65-'72 Manual Consolettes and '65-'67 Automatic Consoles for use with either a factory Buick tachometer or the Buick Tri Shield emblem. The three housings as shown below, are restored, triple-plated and Gorgeous SHOW QUALITY pieces! Because I only have these three, I cannot sell them outright for this would leave me none to restore, right?. . , SO, I am offering them thru a *Preliminary EXCHANGE service. Send me your bare housing, minor pitting ok, no gouges, no cracks or holes and RESTORABLE CONDITION IS A MUST... Ya'll have been around a while and KNOW what 'restorable condition is'... If you send me a housing that is NOT restorable, I will advise you. THIS SERVICE ELIMINATES YOU TYPICALLY WAITING 10-14+ WEEKS... JUST 5 DAYS. . . from the day I receive your RESTORABLE tach housing and your payment of $159, (includes return postage/insurance to any lower 48) you will receive via USPS PRIORITY MAIL, your gorgeous tachometer housing. Remove your tach housing on saturday, and my intent is the following saturday, install the new one. VOILA. Simple. Done. TERMS AND CONDITIONS: I suggest PayPal & Moneyorders because checks will need to clear the financial system before I ship, thus nullifying the 5 days exchange probability. IF for any reason listed above or otherwise, your housing is deemed NON RESTORABLE when it arrives, you will be required to send me an additional $30 before I ship your restored housing. Please understand, I MUST to do it this way to protect my plans to continue this exchange service. YES,. . .I WILL OUTRIGHT PURCHASE USED, RESTORABLE tachometer housings. Pictures prior to this transaction AND AGREED SALE PRICE are absolutely necessary and your payment will IMMEDIATELY be sent via PAYPAL once the housing is in my possession to inspect and deem 'RESTORABLE'. Many years ago, I attempted this type of service with pot metal headlite besels & other parts, and I bought a ton of used stuff where most were NOT RESTORABLE at all, and were discarded. I lost my behind in that deal. *This new EXCHANGE service is PRELIMINARY. So, understand, this may work. ..and, it may not. Relevant changes, revisions & corrections to this plan may have to be re-written. FEEL FREE to offer input on this idea. Feedback is essential to growing any new service and I will respect all who take time to offer input, negative or positive. TACHOMETER HOUSING EXCHANGE SERVICE NOW OPEN FOR BIDNESS!!!

I have an extra one I was going to send off to be plated for my car, so I will take one of yours in exchange for it instead. PM me the details.
Hi Wheelz, I am very interested. I need to get a better look at the one i have and get back to you. Thanks
Hey Wheelz, Great service your offering. Luckily, I don't need mine done, but if I did this would be the way to go. Good Luck! P.S. Just wondering. Why do you use the teennie tiny little blue text in your posts? It sure makes it hard to read that way.
I have to highlight it with my cursor so it turns white with a dark background, its easier to read that way
WOW Nick & Curtis... THIS IS A FIRST!! I've never been told my texts are hard to read. ou: THANK YOU for bringing this to my attention! I will try the next size type font like this. Lemono if this works better for ya'll, OK? Wheelz, Tampa Bay
Wheelz, I took a look at the one i have and i think it is very restorable. Set one of your done ones aside and i will ship mine up as soon as i get it out of the car. Thanks
Hey Nick! I think perhaps this answers your question... :Brow: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?259490-CONSOLE-PARTS-AUTO-or-MANUAL-65-72 ---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ---------- Hello Juan! your name is now deeply scratched into one of these housings... p THANK YOU!
Hey Brian! I sent you your restored housing last week! I know you will be SUPER HAPPY with it!!! :TU: BTW: I just received your old housing yesterday and it is a nice 'core' for restoration. You have a PM! THANK YOU for your purchase! JUAN? Did you get your old housing off your car yet? Wheelz, Tampa Bay
I received the restored housing yesterday and it looks perfect. Already installed it in my 65 GS 4-speed consolette last night. Very satisfied! I now have an extra housing if someone needs one to send to Dennis for restoration. The one I sent him was an extra I had picked up at a swap meet in anticipation of sending it off to be re-chromed. So now I have the one that was in my car laying around, and it is very restorable.
Hey Brian... I'm not thinkin' lately. ou: I shoulda asked...DO you by chance, have a nice TRI SHIELD INSERT to go with your extra tach housing?? BTW I am glad~to~hear you are pleased with the restored housing.... Wheelz, Tampa Bay
Hey Juan! Please wash that tach housing in sanitizer/dissenfectant prior to sending it to me... I cant afford to get sick again. hehehe. :Brow: Wheelz, Tampa Bay
Wheelz, Housing is out of car. Need to get the emblem out and send the housing out to you. Please PM me your shipping info. Have a great day.
