Looks nice. But why take a chance on a 40 year old part. Mark(Mikey914) builds a superior product that was molded from the NOS part that I bought a few years ago for only $200 more.

As far as old 914 dashes go, a wise man said not too long ago, there are two kinds: those that are cracked, and those that are soon to crack.

^I noticed the same thing when I sold my dash.. The market for nice OEM dashes dried up completely..

I bought a NOS dash years ago and I was crushed when it shattered like bone china. 40 year old parts are not all that sometimes.....

The Ad says late, so i'm guessing late maybe?

Maybe I should sell mine and buy one from mikey.. I remember buying a brand new one for my last converion about 15 years ago from sunset porsche.. I think I paid 400 at that time.. Were they still making them new or was that nos?

It's unanimous !.....wish I could read it again.

Probably NOS. From what I could tell they were last produced in the late 80's early 90's. Brad Mayer made a comment on it in the installation video.

I had bought a brand new dash direct from Porsche around 2005. Sold it just a couple of years ago.
