69 CAMARO NOS GM DASH PAD

[camarochaser]

I have an nos dash 69 Camaro non AC pad and the box reads 8-19-1977 PART #6237377 ? Is this correct box ? thanks in advance

[marxjunk]

dates on boxes dont mean much, GM constantly reboxed parts, changed part numbers, superceeded part numbers etc...and the box companies where proud of their stuff and dated it..find a box dated the same as the part and its a pretty good chance its an assy line piece

I cant find that part number for some reason in 5 diff part manuals

is the group number 14.665

I think there is an issue with NOS dashpads having a blem on the front of the pad if I recall. If yours is from 1977, it may not have that issue which would make it probably worth considerable amount more than a typical 'blem' NOS piece.....

maybe someone else knows better about this issue... it has been a long while since I had a NOS pad

Look on the top of the pad and see if there is a flat spot where there is no grain.

The blemish the guy's are talking about is a smooth flat surface with the grain missing. It would be located around the middle of the dash pad. I have that same blemish on my Z pad and was told by the judges back in 08 Vette Fest it was a repop. Goes to show, how much some judges know. There is always room for some learning for everyone about these cars, even judges...
