I think you can also get a repo dash from Year One, but I'm not certain.

Edit: The one from YO is only a dash pad

of course you'd say that. the 2nd design is so much better than the 1st and since i went through such a hassle converting the 77 over to 1st i said they'd come out with it as soon as i was set to instal the weatherstripping in it.

yeah comming up next full quarters and repro bodies just like the 69 camaro it may be another 10 years but they will be out. so you can order that hurst t-top body absolutely rust free to restore your beyond rotted out 78 y82 with no worries.
i thought about buying a 69 body years ago when i had a 69 to make sure there'd be not rot come back at all. but for 10 k it had better be a z28

It would be really cool with repo Dash, 2nd gen Bodies etc :) And also fenders for all 2nd gen T\A's:) Is there a big difference on the fenders?

"79 Trans Am tenth Anniversary Edition"
"81 Turbo Trans Am"
Sad to see that people part out T\A's :( especially saveable ones

It's the perverbial Bigfoot - many supposed sightings but nothing confirmed.

It's been in the Classic Industries catalog since 2002 at least and we've seen reports of (1) dash ever being installed.
