FS: w123 Brown Dash and center console

I need to get more parts out of the garage.

As title states, good brown dash and console. Will ship anywhere provided buyer pays full shipping.

If there's interest, I'll get pictures posted. $250 for the set OBO

Really? I thought brown was next popular color behind blue. Black dashes were the rare ones...

Are you two in the same boat that think there were no w123s with leather?

Maybe I'm missing something, but this looks like a standard black dashboard and console. I don't see anything brown about it, aside from the zebrano wood trim.

Maybe it's the lighting, or maybe I'm missing something... but it looks like standard black to me.

It is brown. Cell phone pictures when I was already running late this morning may not be doing it justice here. It's a very dark brown.

Both my '84 and '85 have had brown dashes and palomino leather.

I should also note that the center zebrano trim was removed due to slight warping and coming away from the dash. It has since been gently re-flattened and will be re-glued before sale is complete.

I'm not in the market, but am genuinely curious and wondering whether we could see some pictures in better light.

I'm also in the camp that has never seen or heard of a brown W123 dashboard. I've only ever seen or heard of black or blue. For the record, I do believe there were W123s with leather interiors. I briefly owned an '85 with a blue leather interior

The brown color appears to many eyes as black.
Unless they are side by side in good light, it's very difficult to tell the difference.

As mentioned, palomino interiors got the brown dash, black interiors got the black, as did red(ish) interiors. And blue interiors got the blue, duh.

Too bad I didn't own my palomino and black interior W123s at the same time. I would have liked to have seen these juxtaposed against one another.

I had always assumed that the dash in a palomino-interiored W123 was black, not brown.

I post another shot of black vinyl laying on this dash tonight. You should clearly see it then.

I am quite certain Andrew is right.

The common dash is a very dark brown that looks black.

Only certain interiors had a truly 'black' dash.

Well, it's dash & center console, the dash cracks are not nearly as bad as some. And I said OBO. Dashes (and even more so consoles) rarely go for sale on here, so getting comps is not that easy.

The only one I see on fleabay: Mercedes 300D W123 Dash | eBay is asking $550, granted with a cluster (the glove box and door I would include with mine).

I do realize that W123s came with leather. I just didn't realize that brown dashes were out there.
