Replace repair Flairbird dash

Todate, i do not believe the dash is being repop'ed. Depending on how bad your existing dash is, you may be able to recover it. The dash in the Flair birds is, for all intents, a one piece affair. I had the dash in my '66 replaced, was lucky and found a perfect dash at Desert Valley Auto Parts here in Az. It was even the correct color, Silver Mink. The pad itself was $250 and installation was also $250. You might check parts yards, both local and national, or, one of the Thunderbird parts houses such as Larry's or Dottling's Thunderbird Connection Replacing the dash pad requires removal of the console assembly, instrumentation, and possibly the windshield and front seats as well. it is fairly staightforward, but a PITA none the less. Good luck, Having a nice dash makes the driving experience all the better, since you are looking at the thing whenever you are in the car.
