Earlier 3pc Dash parts

[VWJake]

I'm looking for 3pc dash parts for my '68. At the end of the day I am potentially looking for all 3 pieces. The padded binnacle cover, the upper dash, and a lower (sans ribs in tray area). Will consider complete dashes or individual pieces.  All will be considered. DM me pics/prices shipped to a residence in Urbana, IL 61801.

 

Thanks,

If I recall correctly, Jake, your ‘68 is well after VIN 1561000 and has (A.) the fully padded dash shown below in the first photo (March 1968 U.S.-market 1600-2 brochure) and NOT (B.) the chrome-trimmed 3-piece dash shown below in the second photo (July 1967 German-market 1600-2 brochure). The latter, chrome-trimmed 3-piece dash was found on the early 1968 U.S.-spec 1600-2’s (1560001 through, at minimum, VIN 1560954, October 1967).

 

Regards,

You are correct Conserv-    My '68 is vin # 1661550. When I wrote "Earlier" in the title I was trying to be mindful that it wasn't a chrome trimmed early dash and that it wasn't the post '69(?) 3pcs dash with the partitions in the tray area. I'm not confident with my knowledge of the dash style change over dates so I didn't want to post any false info. If the car was more accessible I would clear off the dash and take pics. I'll snap some of the '69 dash I have out later as they appear to be identical.

Yep, Jake,

 

The 1969 and, I believe, the early 1970 shared the same 3-pieces.
