I emailed him, he's looking for around $2k which is probably fair given the rarity but I unfortunately can't justify it for my car at the moment.

You can get a brand-new one from Werk924 for about $1500, which is what I paid for mine. I can't say how well it fits yet though, as I haven't installed it yet.

Is the colour a good match to the rest of the brown elements?

Yes, it's spot on.

What do you think this dash will be worth 5 years from now...........or 10 years from now?

Makes me think when I owned a 1974 Opel Manta, if only I purchased lots of OEM interior parts from the Buick Dealership as an investment, stored them away for 20 years...........better return than the stock market?

Classic 9 did my early dash for $800 or so and it looks better than new. Unfortunately I think they stopped serving the 944 community. Maybe if you asked politely...

Does that cost include shipping to the US?

Yes.

Thanks man! Very useful info!

My only reservation on the new Werk924 dash is that I don't know how well it will fit. Their dash is made differently from the original, and the side/lower mounting tabs seem somewhat crudely done. The openins for the gauge cluster, vents, switches and so on are done very accurately, however. Making a replica dash from scratch is a pretty big undertaking, but with equipment available today such as coordinate measuring machines and CNC machines to make the molds, very doable.
