Who sells a new AC under dash unit for a 74 car or do I need to get an old unit. I want to put on in my V8 car that I am building. I see this picture on Renegade site. Any help would be appreciated.

I know of no new ones, but you can usually find used ones. I know of a few that are local to me if you are interested. I could ship greyhound for a good price.

Bob Daniel Lo ( dlo914 )had a nice one for sale at the last G &R swapmeet. There's a G&R coming up this month in Riverside, you might find one there. |

Hot rod shops sell units that work pretty well. I bought one from Southern Rods. It actually fits in pretty nice. I like the narrower version to allow for more foot room. It puts out plenty of cold air. This photo was taken during the installation, and I hadn't cleaned up the console, etc., so the car isn't as pretty as the previous post. JoeO

For my V8 car, I'm using the Hot Rod Air under dash unit. It looks quite similar to the original unit offered for the 914 (I had a new '73 with AC), and it fits just like the original. If you're doing a V8 conversion, these units are available with heat, though it doesn't solve the defrost problem. I like that small unit Joe shows in his post; giving the passenger foot space is a nice feature.

JoeO This is the info on Joe’s head unit. Joe, can you move the head unit over to the right a little and align the left side with the cut consul? I am worried on the room of my feet and leg. Also is there room for the passenger to have his feet in there. I got in my car with a tape measure and it does not seem like a lot at 5” tall. With 10” deep a passengers toes will just fit. How does it feel? Hot Rod Parts 1-800-STRT-ROD (787 - 8763)Product Description: From Southern Air. A/C Unit only - NO HEAT. Same dimensions and output as Super Frost.Measurements are 5" tall x 10" deep x 16" wide. Part No.: 090-00464 Price: $205.00 This price is great for new. |

Did a quick Google for Under Dash AC, and came up with many links for hot rod ac units. Most are in the $800-$1000 price complete, but do sell just parts. Some looked like they would fit the cabin nicely, with Left and Right side fan units to allow better foot space. Try it.
Here's one http://www.oldairproducts.com/catalog/prod...roducts_id=4348 |

Underdash - Complete System
[CAP-400HC] $910.00 Underdash Slimline Complete, Coil Right, Heat&Cool* -------------------------------- Guess there wasn't enough action but they're still on their web site. If you get the under the dash unit, looks like you can piece together the rest from many places. Let us know...Im thinking about the same thing. Bill |

Yes, it could be located a little more to the right if more footroom is needed. I haven't noticed any problem with my feet clearance, but I only wear size 9's. JoeO |

I have a vpc good unit but I don't know if it's possible yet but I might try a vintage air in the dash unit with heat and defrost. The trick will be to get it hidden. I have also thought about deleting the fresh air vent and putting the ac unit there.
