The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Hi everybody! Found this picture on ebay. Is that a clock or what? I've never seen it before. My first thought was that someone installed it themselves but apparentely the car is a survivor so that made me wonder. Just curious to see if anyone knows. Here's the auction:

Could it be a period accessory or probably a dealer fitted one?

My best guess is an ashtray taken from another car. Maybe the owner thought that the buit-in ashtray was a bit far away, so he decided to install one at a closer distance? That makes sence to me, but I can´t be sure of course. I have never seen a car looking like this before.

Yes, it might as well (or more likely...) be a clock from another car. I didn´t realize that at first.

From the sales ad: "Original everything except batt, plug wires, valve covers, exhaust, coil and air cleaner."
I can add wheels, floor mat (?), radio, loudspeakers and brake cylinder cover to that list. Maybe you can call the car a survivor in some sence, but it is not a 100% virgin for sure.

Yes that looks like some sort of clock. Probably from another make of car completely. Not factory or dealer installed.
