1966 Pontiac black dash pad
Permalink  

I'm parting out a 66 Custom Sport hardtop, 283 Powerglide car and it's time to start listing stuff that isn't already sold. 

This is a very nice black dash pad from the car. Not many in this shape after 57 years!

It's only flaws are 2 tiny cracks, shown in the pictures, about 3/8" long, one at each end. The pad still feels nice and soft, not brittle and cracking like they often are. I suspect those "vinyl doctor" guys could easily repair the little cracks but honestly I'm not sure you'd even need to. If I didn't point them out you might never notice them. 

Thinking $100 plus actual shipping costs from Manitoba. I might be able to arrange free delivery from Manitoba to Calgary/Edmonton area in a couple of weeks.

I'll be listing more stuff but feel free to PM me with requests for parts from the car.

Hey there, do you know if it fits 1965 by any chance?

I don't currently have a box big enough for it but I'm sure I could find one somewhere.

However, last night I read where a guy with a 65 wrote a 66 pad fit fine and then a bit later where a guy with a 65 wrote that the 66 pad doesn't fit right at the ends. So now I'm confused confuse

Ok, then I guess I'll have to wait for something local.
Thanks for checking

I think I'd stick with a 65 pad unless someone here can prove 100% a 66 pad fits.

Interesting post: While in a junk yard several years back, I found a mint condition black pad in a 66 4 dr. Naturally I scooped it and it fit my 65 perfectly. However, there was a different type of snap in clip on the vertical ends that weren't compatible.

 Were you able to simply use the 66 style clip in the 65 dash? Or how did you secure the ends?

Testing my memory.... if I recall, mine had a serrated pin that seated into a round slot and the 66 had a flat tapered pin fitting into a rectangular slot (or vise versa)

Anyway, I couldn't make them work so I just used a thin piece of foam rubber so it wouldn't rub or vibrate. Seems firm enough without clips once you attach the windshield pillar trim.

The plastic sockets look rectangular on my 65, but I'm not aware what is original and what was brought from a random car on mine. Anyway, if the separate plastic clips is the only difference - those clips look like they can be easily 3d printed to match the pads pins I assume. My main concern was the silhouette of the top area in the middle.

Hey guys, if anyone's interested - now I can confirm, 66 dash pad and dash top fits 65 like a glove, no adjustments needed.

Thanks for being the guinea pig and posting that! And the 66 pad snaps into the 65 instrument panel into the 65 clips?
