Jim, What is the going rate for the frames?

Need an early Series I dash? The one without the cigarette lighter cut out?

Hi,

We buy most RHD dash frames from wrecking yards for A$30 - A$50 each, however, LHD are difficult to locate here in OZ so it is a matter of how much a seller want's v's how much we are prepared to pay. Jim

You can have my spare RHD 260 frame for 30 bucks, in fact if you can take it and use it its yours, shipping from South Aust to you could suck? Any other members want it?

Thanks Mate but we are looking for LHD's. Thanks anyway.

Hi kmack,

Is that one of the two 240Z frames? Jim

Yes, It is from an early '71 Series I 240Z. I can try to get a picture of it for you if you are interested.

I have a dash from a early '70 240 it has two hairline cracks on the top from the dash across and down to area next to the tack and another the same that is next to the clock . In the recess in front of the amp meter there is a hole with some of the foam missing , it is about the size of a neckel.

Thanks kmack and beandip - It looks like we have secured an early series 1 240Z however, we still need a series 2 240 and a 260 if anyone has those. Jim:classic:

Jim,

If it helps, it's my understanding that the early Series I dash is all but identical to the Series II dash. The only difference being the cut-out for the cigarette lighter. Which, on the Series I dash, the indentation is already there. FWIW...
