    Looking for a ventless dash pad from a non-AC sedan or post coupe,as perfect as it can get,or NOS. Black preferred,but more interested in how nice it is.

    I sold a nice green one to @GSXER last year -Not sure if Joe really needed as it was part of a lot of them.

    Thank you both.
    Thinking of converting my 455 4-speed car to a heater-delete as IF it were made like that. Some of the 60’s cars were,but that stuff was mandatory by 1970.

    I had a mint one a few years back - no body even replied to my post when I had for sale at $50.00. Sorry I tossed it now.

    I was thrilled to sell mine (probably based on what you'd told me wrt yours). I figured a pretty low $# for it into the package deal I made to sell several dash pads I'd accumulated.

    My '72 sedan is made up to be a heater delete car with a ventless dash pad and a block off plate under the hood and in the dash where the heater controls would normally be located. The funny part is when you have a guy at the cruise-in tell you that he had a heater-delete '70-'72 Buick too. :) Of course his car was a Stage 3.

    Where did you get the blank for the dash controls,or did you make it?

    just homemade.

    Also keep you eyes open for a matching dash bezel that doesn't have a LH vent (any non-A/C car with a vent window would use this dash)

    I have a few non-AC bezels.
    Would you be interested in making another blank like that. Since you’ve already made one,you could do it quicker than I could. I could also see that useful for a street/strip car that you could mount 2 1/16 gauges along there. Maybe.

    Not yet. Waiting on pictures and info from a few members. Do you have one?

    You have a few non-AC bezels without a LH vent? Those were only used on cars with ventless dash pads so they are pretty unusual these days.

    The block-off panel is relatively straight forward after you find a piece of material.

    Yes,I parted a few non-AC post coupes. However,I am curious how the new repop bezels are made. Are you able to cut out what you need,or are they all made for the vent?
