Due to cracking, most all my 123 dash tops are cracked, from acceptable to real bad. I have 4 right now, but one I'd like to be perfect.

So......anyone priced a OE 123 chassis dash lately ?...I'd like to know please.

At times they come up in the boneyards, just have to get to them quick before rain/sun kills them...

About 6 mos. ago I called Justdashes.com. They do many of the muscle car dashes and their is excellent from the few Chevelle dashes I've seen from them. They have not done a w123 dash but ballparked the job to be about $1,000. They take your core, strip the old vinyl, patch and shape the foam and vacuum form a new color / texture matched vinyl. I'd bet their finished job would be awesome but I can't justify a grand for a dash....

Search for mercedes 123 on ebay. I saw an outfit that is doing 123 dash replicas that look the business. Has the proper texturing, holes in the right places, etc. This was just last week so should still be there.

Some lady,good feedback, never ever sold anything on ebay before, just bought. Her and her husband bought it years when they were restoring a 300TD, but they never completed it for some reason. anyway i am happy.
i tought i was going to have to install the plastic cover but this is better.

Black ones are all that available from Mercedes. They retail for $835.00, but you should be able to get one for $740.00 or so.

Usually I say new dashes are anywhere from $500 - $1000 for most manufactures. For my Volvo its around $700. I would guess Mercedes is about the same.
