    I've never seen an Avanti dash that they might have done, but I have seen their work on a couple of different makes. Their work is nothing less than superb...and priced to match.

      There is an article in Avanti magazine showing photos of an actual Avanti dash being restored in their shop in California.

      Best reputation in the business. Plan on spending many hundreds, but getting a dash that looks like it did in 1963.

      I wlll see if I can find the issue #.

        I can remember a family member calling me back in the mid-90's worried that $150 might be too much money to pay for an NOS Avanti dash...those were the days.

          I bought one from Studebaker International that I am very happy with. I installed it about 9 months ago. It is a fun project. What ends up happening is that you will want to redo your instuments and the overlays as well so everything looks nice.

            Yes, contact Nick Berger out in Westminster, California. The dash is beautiful!

              Dash Pads are presently NLA at SIA. As for Just Dashes, 2K, and a 8 to 10 week turn around. The instruments and overlay are already done and waiting. Is Nick a Forum member?

                Midway through my car's restoration I found a NOS unit (old but not too old...probably from the Avanti II period or perhaps later than that) and had Allen Barth install it. it looks great.

                  I did the same thing and if I can do, you can do it to.
