WTB or Trade for 2-piece Dashboard


Ensign

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a 2-piece dashboard, in relatively good condition, for my 1972 tii (01/28/72 production date). I am assuming the car left the factory with a 2-piece dashboard, but I don't know that for sure. I currently have a 1-piece from a '74, so the buttons are not labelled correctly for my car.

 

A dashboard from a non-tii will work.

 

I prefer a dashboard that has not had any work done to it (i.e. crack repair and/or vinyl paint)

 

Thanks for your consideration.

Tony

 

TO TRADE: I HAVE A '74 INJECTION PUMP WITH WUR (CONDITION UNKNOWN) AND/OR 4 - INJECTORS THAT WERE CLEANED/TESTED BY PACIFIC FUEL INJECTION.

Tony,

 

Your car left the factory with a two-piece dashboard.  One detail:  very late in the 1972 model year (or maybe it was with the beginning of the 1973 model year), the heater/defroster fan pull-switch moved from the lower left corner of the instrument binnacle to the heater/defroster slide controls, and the lower left corner switch then became a switch for the rear defroster.  So....some of the later two-piece dashboards might still have switch labels that don't conform to your car.

 

The lettering, however, can be re-done.  Forum member mo02 might be able to solve your problem if you wind up with one of the later two-piece dashboards:

 

 

Regards,

 

Steve

I have a two piece dash, but I am not sure what model/year it is from. It is one of the ones that has the cluster surround as a totally separate piece (which I don't have). Its actually in really nice shape too, i was going to use it in my tii but couldn't without the cluster surround piece. LMK

Which is why the style with a separate instrument binnacle is known as a three-piece dashboard.  I'm not certain of the changeover VIN or date, but it's certainly no later than April 1971, and I suspect it was perhaps early in the 1970 model year.  Mike S. will know for certain.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

Thanks for responding.

It sounds like you are describing a 3 - piece dash.

Here is a photo of a 2 - piece:

Is this different than yours?

Thanks again for the response.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
