Are the console clocks the same for 67 and 68 firebirds?

Negative. Both clocks mount on a console a little differently and their faces matched the colors of the instrument clusters for the same year.

'67: Black face with light green numbers and orange hands.

'68: Steel blue face with white numbers and white hands.

'67 clocks mounted directly to console over an "cutout" section in the console. The harness passed through the same "cutout" I believe there was only one bolt used, maybe 2 - but no reinforcement bracket.

'68 clocks used 3 nuts/bolts and a metal reinforcement bracket under the console. One of the nuts went up through the same "cutout" as the '67, however, the rear 2 bolts and the harness passed through a 2nd (larger hole) farther up the console. Also the rear 2 bolts went through the console and into the clock at an angle.

Thanks for the detailed insight!

There is fairly hard to find deal on ebay right now for a 67 firebird/camaro NOS in the box console clock if you know anyone who might be interested.

Yep. And there have been 2 more in the past month or so that were even better deals as they came with the wiring harness that this one does not have. They went for just under $300 and about $280 respectively. OUCH!

Another problem I had with any of these is that the owners could not verify that they even worked. I don't care how NOS they are, sitting in a box unused for years would practically guarentee that you would still have to send them out for a rebuilding (another $150 or so).

I preferred the well used core that I can have restored and I will come out ahead moneywise in the end. The harness is available as a reproduction.

thanks for the info! I'll see if I can find a decent used one.
