December 31, 20177 yr comment_538742 The dash on one of my cars is in terrible shape. The PO was classy enough to use dark colored drywall screws. I suspect most other people would use steel colored screws or hex heads. Anyway, mine is in such bad shape, these dashes could suck and I would still be in better shape than I am now. In as bad of shape as my dash is, I would rather it be busted up than install cap over it.

January 7, 20187 yr comment_539167 Oh boy, a new dash for my 77 280! I would love to have a new one. I had no choice but to install a full face dash cap. And I have tried twice to get the full face cap to fit right and it doesn't!! Still better than looking at my present dash. I spent 17 years in Vegas and that's what destroyed my dash. Or at least helped it along. It is so brittle that if I was to attempt removal of the dash cap my dash would disintegrate. The price is great. I would buy a new dash before re-doing my seats. That's how bad mine is. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/59209-fyi-240z-dashboards/?&page=4#findComment-539167 Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 13, 20187 yr comment_539659 On 12/24/2017 at 6:15 PM, wheee! said: Dash caps look terrible in my opinion. As soon as I see one I am disappointed in the car and suspect of anything else that has been done to it. It’s just a half step in my opinion. New dash, restored dash or original dash. A cap just looks fake to me. Sorry if I offend anyone that has one, but I just can’t get past the look.... DITTO. They fold up and separate as well. Really TACKY Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/59209-fyi-240z-dashboards/?&page=4#findComment-539659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 13, 20187 yr comment_539663 No Offense taken here. I installed one ( was supposed to be temporary), because my dash is really bad and I didn't want to see it anymore. And at the time couldn't afford a new or restored dash. Thought $1800 was unrealistic. I think it would be more "tacky" driving it around without something hiding the ugly cracked up dash. Just MHO.

January 15, 20187 yr comment_539778 Guys give them some time it is a lot of work to rebuild these dashes. I looked into it many years a go. I could not get the math to work and all the parts to lineup. Headless to say almost every 240 to 280Z would love a remanufactured dash.Sent from my [device_name] using http://Classic Zcar Club mobile Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/59209-fyi-240z-dashboards/?&page=4#findComment-539778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 17, 20187 yr Author comment_540048 I noticed this was posted up yesterday (Jan 16, 2018) on facebook. Appears to be the Series 2 240Z dash. Free shipping for pre-orders placed in the next couple of weeks. No word on Series 1 240z or other Z dashes. https://m.facebook.com/groups/327981873903624?view=permalink&id=1563738396994626&rt=11 Edited January 17, 20187 yr by w3wilkes Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/59209-fyi-240z-dashboards/?&page=4#findComment-540048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
January 25, 20187 yr comment_540722 Hello everyone, I apologize for not visiting Classiczcars more often. I'm doing a promotion for Free shipping on all pre-orders before 2/4/2018. I'm producing Series 1 and Series 2 dashes for 240z and in process of making a mold for 260z/280z dash. My current sample is Series 2 but there will be a small adjustment for Series 1 dash.
