    i've been talking to a fellow board member(nice guy by the way)he was intrigued by my dash pad.i have always been as well.when i bought my car from az EVERYTHING was rotten.all the seals,the back deck board,you could push your finger through the back seat panels,the f/b glass gaskets, my buckets and the metal part of my doors was so sunbeaten it was down to bare metal yet there sat my dash pad made of leather so supple you could lay your head to rest on it.was it an option or does someone maybe think it was a replacement.does anyone else have one like it?i just never understood how it could be in such great shape.the guy i bought it from said he didnt replace it.anyway any ideas?
