randy, i did look at the 440 bezel, the coronet is under the plastic, i guess i can scuff up the surface and use a black plastic paint, it just might work,

No sorry I don't at the moment. They are the same as the 68 Dart/A body. I used to own one a few years ago, they look very similar. Ill try to track down some pics for you if you like.

Go to Valiant Pacer.com and click on VF/VG button in the top right hand corner. I think it may be the VF (1969) model dash your looking for. there are contact details listed too.
Hope this helps.

hey sixbbl69,

what is the difference in the early 68 or late 68?




Early 68 the numerals were fully spelled out and it was to busy, later they were shortened but there was a x10 symbol... IE early 68 60708090100 late 68, 69 & 70 6 7 8 9 10


BTW the VG stuff won't help it'sa basically A body but it's also RHD

That r/t piece that fits over glove box is gonna be tough to find, and most likely ex$pensive. If you just paint it black it will clash bigtime with rest of dash. That factory plastic pattern will be quite a trick to duplicate. I left the "440" piece on mine because it was mint.

Unfortunately $$$ can't buy whats not for sale.. They don't repo it so you need to keep an eye out for someone selling one....
And while on that subject...

Sorry about kickin ya when yer down.. Which brings us back to why I suggested as a temporary measure just paint the Coronet 440 trim... It's not right but if done well it could be pretty convincing...

& Yeah I found the video humorous... What people won't do to get attention...
