« on: May 10, 2016, 08:23:21 PM »
Looking for one with no cracks or issues . Saddle preferred but will take any color . Had guy fixing super small corner cracks and he
dropped and completely broke it . Said he'd give me 100 dollars like thats going to replace it   :angryfire: ........
Pics and price shipped to Ca 95004 .
Thanks

Ouch. Tough break. Those are very hard to come by in any reasonable condition and tend to be expensive. I think there are a couple floating around amongst the community.

I have one that would need to go to justdashes or equivalent for rebuild and that's a $700bill.

Good luck on your search! I'd love to see these reproduced. Someone is reproducing the 67..

Thanks,
Tony

I have one that someone recovered and it looks good,but not what you would call 100 % correct. I can get a pic if you want $160 and shipping.

Mike, was that wrapped with vinyl? I'll guess the grain pattern is different from original.
Considering the high cost of the Just Dashes process, this sounds like a great alternative!

Your photo is a bit fuzzy, but it looks indeed like a wonderful job.  It may not be concours, but it certainly will make your Buick look great!

Cheers, Edouard

Yes it does!  However, I can't help but ask about the car in front of your dashpad recipient.  Sure looks to me like you've got a 1964-65 Buick wagon parked in front!  I see an unmistakable Buick wagon right tail-light . . .

Tell me more!!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:
