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 .

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!! (http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/bouncey.gif)

It is very different, but I like the way the A/C vents have been done.  So how did you get the vents integrated under the dash so nicely? (http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/question_mark_confused.gif)

700 R



Hardened 200-4R . . . . 700-R4 . . . what's the difference? (http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/shrug_shoulders_confused.gif)

4 wheel disc


Okay that's still on the do-to list.  Right now my wagon only has front disc brakes and they are for 14" wheels.

Quote from: Buicknut65 on June 02, 2016, 06:36:27 PM
full custom leather interior on and on .


Okay, that's cool!  :glasses9:  I prefer quality fabric upholstery looks closer to what Buick originally had in these cars, but everybody's different.

So do tell us still more!

Curious minds want to know!  :laughing7:
