heater control panel

[nahurry]

found this on ebay, these things are almost extinct! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130358463563&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT

Shhh..don't show that to these bandits, that's my high bid so far!

The pics seem to contradict the description don't they? It looks like evidence of being mounted to me. Yep, its junk, don't bid on that.

I don't know why it was in my watching list before this post, what junk

[Bonzi Lon]

I need one for #110, but will let all the others battle over it. I won't be following the auction, for fear of temptation, but wouldn't mind knowing the final price for a guideline in the future.

I still have 5 new in box put back along with 5 new console fuse panel lids. My rule is you need one buy 5! If my wife only knew!!!:tapemouth

Here is another, you can use as a price reference Bonzi. This auction ended two weeks ago. My bid wasn't high enough to win. It sold for $140.25.

here is the description from that auction and pics below. It came with more and was in great condition.

I am a little leary of the condition of the lower chrome border on the one in nahurry's auction after seeing the radio installation in the pics in his gallery, that shows the control panel he is selling. Clearly not "NEW" anymore either.

The ended Ebay auction:

UP FOR BID IS A COMPLETE OEM (70-72) DATSUN 240Z DASHBOARD HEATER PANEL. IT IS IN BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL CONDITION. ALL OF THE CHROME INCLUDING CENTER VENT, IS FULLY INTACT, BRIGHT AND CLEAR. THE PLASTIC HAS NO CRACKS. THE REAR CONTROL PLATING IS VERY NICE AND HAS NO RUST OR CORROSION. THE FAN BLOWER SWITCH HAS BEEN CLEANED, TESTED AND WORKS PERFECTLY. INCLUDED IS A NICE SET OF OEM CONTROL CABLES

You and I seem to bid on the sames ones and not get it, someone seems to have richer blood than you and I. By the way Jerry Purcell if you have 5 do you mind sharing at a good price? I've not had good luck on getting parts that meet their statement on ebay

It looks like Eiji at Datsun Spirit still has new ones for sale at $225.

I could be wrong on this but I'm not so sure he's the one selling the panel. He has a 73 which has a different design than the one in the auction, which can be verified by examining at the one in his gallery.

the pic in my gallery is of the illuminated heater panel that is correct for 73. the panel for sale is for a 70-72.

the pic in my gallery is of the heater panel that i have in my car now, which is correct for 73. the panel for sale is for a 72 and was never installed.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
