sorry but i can't find where to search anymore, i have an odd dash in my firebird, i don't know if it's stock but i doubt it since nothing else in the car is, the dash pad has two indented lines along where is comes down over the gauge area, my friend tells me this is rare, probably becuase neither he or i have ever seen one like this, i was just wondering if you guys may know something more about it, i personally don't like it as much as the stock ones i've seen because it doesn't look as "sharp" to me, but i don't want to give it to my friend before knowing anything about it

 

those are for 82-84 Firebirds

 

sweet thanks man

 

I sold my last one for $80, but it was in great shape. Those dashes are sometimes hard to find in good shape.

 

You would think because or the rareity of these dash pads they would demand a premium? I had a mint one and couldn't give it away on here, so I sold it to a body shop guy locally who was painting an 82 Bird for $75.

 

That's why I rarely sell on TGO. eBay is the way to go

 

How'd you get an 82-84 dash in your 88 Fbird?

Seriously, I bought an wrecked 88 Formula for parts and it had a mint dash in it. That was great as my son's 91RS needed a dash and we thought most of the stuff was interchangeble between Fbirds and Camaros. Well, the Formula dash was completely different than the Camaro dash. Same number of screws in the defroster vents but not only was the screw spacing at the bottom rear of the dash different, the dash is SHORTER than the Camaro dash. Same width from side to side, but shorter. Almost an inch. This Fbird dash also in not flat across the back/top of the dash and has the indented area in the center where the gauges are. No wonder GM continues to lose money. No reason in the world to make the dash different.

 

The 82-84 dash pads are the same size, the difference is the two lines on the lip.

 

Rare doesn't necessarily mean it's worth more. But 75-80 seems right...I spent that much on one. Wouldn't spend much more than that though.

 

this one is mint but ugly imo, i have two other mint regular dashes so i'm going to go with those, my friend really like this one so i think i'm gonna trade him for it or something
