i can pick this up for $100.00 i would be stupid not to

Thats a steal.  To buy a new reproduction one is going to be around $450 - $650.

I had one on order from usa1 interiors, ordered it in march they say it may come late july aug they don't know so cancelled order i'm picking this one up sunday saved myself $500.00 i'll prep it and paint it

Be VERY careful with it.  Shaun/Salans7 bought one several years ago that had no cracks.  Took it home, put it on a shelf, and it cracked.  After all these years they are very brittle and it doesn't take much to crack them.

It's beautiful.  And yes, handle carefully if it is original.

When you do prep & paint use a flat clear or semi flat on it as the sun glare will bounce off onto the glass and make it hard to see when sunny out.

Out of curiosity what kind of shape is the underside in?

I'll find out at about 3.00 pm if  the foam is really crumbly i guess my bride had a nice sunday drive with lunch at olive garden

Excellent!

Nice.
I have two original dash pads that are still intact across the outer speaker "grille". Turn them over however and it's pretty much just the vinyl skin that's left, all the foam having long since crumbled away.
I have to handle with extreme care when doing maintenance, and always park facing north lol
