Cracked dash question on my LE, Is a 72 dash the same as a 74? Options

[JRust]

Okay so I am finally finishing off my LE & will be putting it up for sale. My problem is the dash I bought on ebay as uncracked isn't. When it came it looked great in the shrink wrap. I didn't pull it out as it was still months off from being installed. Bad move as when I pulle the shrink wrap off I could see the cracks. If held just right the dash cracks totally disappear. Well I went ahead & installed it & the cracks are easy to see. Just pisses me off every time I look at it.

So my question is should I bother replacing it? Or just sell it like it is? I don't want to spend a mint finding a perfect dash. My other option is getting Morph's recovered dashes. They look great but are a stitched dash. So obviously that isn't stock. Now my LE Creamsicle is a very nice driver. Really not concours but will show well. For my interior this is really the only obvious flaw. Everything else is in excellent shape & no cracks or tears. Say you were the buyer? Would you be good with the newly stitched dash? Prefer the stock dash cracked?

For an LE the salvage title won't matter as much, cuz the buyer can re-brand it with historic plates in their state.

CAMP914 is pretty much like new OEM covering appearance-wise, but fresher plastic/vinyl material. Being an LE, I'd go with that option, & use your Morph credits on something else it needs or for your later 914s' needs.

Even if you were to find & buy an expensive NOS dash top pad, it would still be 20-30 year old vinyl covering it & just waiting to crack, so frankly IMHO the CWs using those are just asking for trouble, cuz they can crack in a matter of hours!

How do I know? ....the original on my 914 cracked while dry stored in my SoCal garage, & the original one on my frigging 85 325e cracked over night this past spring & now I have 2 to replace as well! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
