We are not missing so much, but everything that is in or under the dash are in a terrible condition. Whatever else we could get from a parts car would be a bonus, two or four door doesn't matter as long as everything in the dash is the same. We have been told that 42, 46 and 47 have the same instruments, switches, trim pieces and dash, and probably the same heater and miscellaneous other parts that might be useful for our restoration.
Whatever we don't use for this restoration, we will gladly put up for sale here when we are done.


46 and 47 models are identical 21st series so would be the best option. 20th series 42 dash has same dash layout and switches but speedo and clock are a bit different. 42 instrument face color is slightly different and lettering is heavier and more block shaped so mixing 42 with 46-7 instruments in the same dash would be noticeable. The more common dual stream underseat heater and separate defroster/footwarmer are the same from 42-7 but if an optional deluxe single box combo defroster/heater is involved that is quite different as is the dash switch.
