I doubt you'll find a molded plastic cover, and I wouldn't recommend one even if you could. Your options are find a good used one, have the old one recovered (not cheap), or have one of the carpet covers made.

Better to opt for the cover. Once you start to remove the original pad, you'll wish you didn't!

You could check out Dr. Vinyl. I hear they can repair dash pads.

You also might consider taking your car to an interior shop. A good interior guy can cover your dash with stiched vinyl, cloth, or faux leather and make it look sharp.

Don't know how far you want to dig in but Just Dashes does amazing work. I had my 71 442 dash and pillar post done by them. Not cheap but top quality work.
