That ebay dash price is pretty good. I sold my 124 dash for around $100.

It took me around an hour to make a proper box for it, I already had the cardboard, bubble wrap, and foam, and with the box barely larger than the dash it cost around $90 to ship it to CA UPS ground. It's the length that kills the price.

BTW Doug, the palomino interior has a brown dash, ... dark brown, but brown. Hard to tell and few notice.

I think with the opinions here, I'll go with my preference and install the black dash. I think that the blue interior is the only one (other than black) where the upper and lower dash are the same color, and I prefer black anyway. Since nobody here is screaming about originality etc., I think it'll be fine as long as I don't enter it at Pebble Beach.

O.K. I just double checked the original interior color by running the VIN, it was Java not palomino.

I swear the dash is black, but I'll inspect it really close tonight. I don't even know why I care since I'm planning to paint it blue.

Some folks have had good luck with this stuff:

Black dash would be fine with me.
Just a matter of the kick panels then.
