According to my Parts Manual the Clock was featured UP TO VIN 6158.

My car had/has the clock, but I can't say that its really helpfull for
telling time. First of all it runs fast about 5 minutes every week, it's
hard to adjust properly and is on a 12-hour scheme instead of 24.
And not the least problem; when I'm driving the clock is set into the panel
too deep, so I can only see the upper halves of the numbers (when I'm
lucky).

Alls this was reason for me to take out the clock and filling up the hole
that remained with a special display for monitoring several functions on the
car. SinceI had my accident past november I haven't been able to work on
this anymore, but I plan to have a small display showing operation and
cycling of both fans plus their reason to come on (AC, engine temp or
override) and the status of my alarmsystem. These six functions are just
enough to nicely fille the hole with something usefull.

When I finally finish it I'll post some pics somewhere...
