Owning a classic Porsche 911 can be a lot of fun. However, with historic vehicles in need of constant maintenance and with original parts not exactly easy to find, the hobby can get really expensive. Fortunately, Porsche’s Classic division is here to give U.S. enthusiasts a hand with a range of services and products for early 911 models. After it had launched a navigation radio system that blends modern technology with a retro look earlier in 2015, Porsche Classic has also announced it will reproduce dashboards for vintage 911 models from years 1969 to 1975.
Much like any other restomod item from Porsche Classic, the dashboard looks just like the original, but features a modern substructure. The automaker claims that "the fluted texture, tactile feel, gloss and shade of black" were designed to be as close as possible to the original. At the same time, it was created using a sophisticated manufacturing process that meets today’s high-quality standards. Porsche says the materials used in the new dashboard will hold up better against solar radiation and fluctuations in temperature and humidity, and help preserve the value of classic Porsche cars in the long run.
The new part is available from any authorized Porsche dealer in the U.S. for $1,353, not including taxes and shipping. The manufacturer recommends the dashboard replacement be performed by authorized dealer partners who have trained experts, as it can only be installed by the original procedure, which involves removing the windshield.
