Friend of mine here in Austin doing a really nice restoration on a 69E. The car came without a dash and he's looking for something really nice. He's not interested in anything aftermarket.
If anyone has anything they'd part with, he's looking and he's willing to pay for something very, very nice. He'd prefer a '69 dash but wouldn't refuse a '70-73 dash if it's really nice. Thanks in advance.

My friend has been restoring this car for 7 years so he's shown a willingness to wait for the perfect part when he really wants it.
Looks like you just missed one on PP: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsc...-lwb-dash.html

If your friend can get a hold of a dash in need of restoration, which might be much easier and cheaper than trying to find one in perfect condition, he could send it to Just Dashes out in Van Nuys. Those guys do a fantastic job, in my opinion. They're not quick, but the work is pure artistry.
Thanks for the tip. If we don't find something great I may just call him.
I also am a fan of Just Dashes and a longtime customer. Unfortunately, their work on early 911 dashes isn't that great. Their manufacturing process doesn't provide the definition that our the early 911 dashes need. To their credit, if you call them, they're very upfront about telling you exactly that - at least they were with me.
