Title: Aviation style Instrument Panel
Post by: LJ-TJ on October 16, 2018, 07:15 PM
I saw a winnie on Craig's List with what looks like an aviation style instrument panel.  Wow!  Would that have been factory made?  I've never seen one like it.

It was called the "Cockpit Commander", and was an extremely rare option.

I drove out there to take a look at the D27C, the entire wiring harness had caught fire. The electrical fire burned all the wires in the engine compartment and under the cab as far back as I could see. It says runs and drives on the post but it doesn't. I took a battery with me to turn it over using jumper cable on the starter but the engine would barely turn. The roof is shot and when it's raining outside it's also raining inside. It does have the 17" 5 lug rims that are radial instead of split. They are willing to take $800 for it as is but hauling it to my home in sc is more than I'm willing to pay considering all the work it needs to fix it
