Dash pieces

Back in 1994 or so, thieves broke into the '70 when my buddy owned it and sawed the dash plastic to get the radio out. I would like to replace whatever is necessary, to make this right again. Does anyone have what I need?

That's such a 90s thing. Stealing car radios. GL on your search.

Looks way too clean for a theft to me.
You need to make your own face plate or replace the entire dash. No such thing as a replacement.

I stole this image from the interweb, someone was selling it. Looks like it is all one piece like I thought. And they aren't fun to take out either.

It was a sawzall style cutout. And I was there at work with him when it happened. So, yes, it was a theft, right in the parking lot of our day job. I went to lunch with him and it was fine and then at the end of the day, he was giving me a ride home as my car was in the shop. We got in the car and went, WTF!?

Joe, I have the plastic part, in gold, from a '70 Cutlass. I'm in the middle of relocating my parts to our new home; however, my wife gets over to PSL every week to visit her mother. If you're not in a big hurry, please let me know: drolds1@bellsouth.net. Thanks, Bob.

It went back further. My first rattletrap '72 chevelle had such a thing done. Had bolted the darn radio in the dash, they could get it out easily, so they attacked it with a hammer. Being that the entire dash was plastic, surprised looking back, that they just didn't rip the entire section of the dash out!

A friend of mine just told me two days ago he has two available, both uncut in great shape. I think he wants $200 each for them.
