Series 1 Dash by Dashboard Restorations - $450

[inline6]

I had this dash restored more than 10 years ago I believe.  It is a series one from my personal car, made in 12/70.  Here are some pics:

 

I've never installed it in my car.  I was not 100% happy with the dash when I got it back from Dashboard Restorations.  In fact, it was my second attempt with them, but they couldn't get the quality high enough for my needs.  However, I am pretty damn picky.  So, I sourced a New Old Stock dash for my car instead, and put this one in storage. 

Here are some more pics and some details regarding the issues I had with it: 

The hazard and blank opening above.  Once the hazard switch is in place, I am sure there will be no issues with the lower opening, but the upper one isn't quite perfect:

This curved area on the left and right below the 3 middle gauges has some slight imperfections.  I tried to show them as best I could with the lighting and angles of the pics.  There is also a slight bit of dye that has rubber off (grey spot).  As I understand it, the vinyl used by Dashboard Restorations years ago was grey, and then dyed black.  That is easy to touch up.

As you can see, it looks pretty nice.  There are a few other things though.  The gauges fit really tight.  This was a common complaint with Dashboard Restorations dashes.  I have had the gauges in before, and they do fit, but they are a tight squeeze.  Also, the glove box door doesn't fit quite right in the top corners.  The corners of the door lid are sharper (shorter radius) than those top corners for the opening in the dash.  And finally a few more pics showing where some more of the dye rubbed off (again - easy fix), inside edges of the glove box (need to be glued down better), and a few bumps (imperfections) on the strip that goes down the right side of the center control panel:

  

 

Shipping by Greyhound "station to station" is about $120 from GA to CA.  You will need to pick the package up at the station, but they typically are open long hours, so it isn't usually an inconvenience.  If you are closer to me, it will be less.   Fed-Ex is too expensive.  

Priced accordingly.  If you've got a daily driver that needs a dash, jump on this before someone else does.
