Wrong instrument panel, small gauges and warning lamps for a '74. Maybe just wrong period - unless the idea was to not need to reach too far the cigarette lighter!

It looks like someone modified that intake to fit, you can see that the flanges were welded on.
I did read a write up online where someone fabricated a manifold like that and it supposedly worked ok.

Price seems pretty high!

Hmmm.  No mention of the Lancia Stratos?  Dino?  Carrera GT?  Pantera?  Muita?  R8?

You can still call Ken Gray at DBE directly for parts, just ordered rear flex brake lines for my S2 a few weeks back at (209) 754-5802. What part of San Diego are you at?

Joji:  Thanks.  I'll see about checking with Ken on parts.  I'm in Poway.  Perhaps we will cross paths.

Repairing with fiberglass won't work.  I've seen that a few times...the patch just peels off.   The console is ABS plastic, which is a PITA to repair, and requires adhesives specifically made for ABS.  There are various glues you can get at the big box hardware stores which will work...look in the plumbing supply aisle where you will find them.  You WILL have to cover the faces after you put all the pieces back together/fix cracks/etc.  but covering it after fixing is probably the best course of action (unless you come upon an unmolested/cracked example...I just gave away my last solid console a couple weeks ago from my stash.)

Thanks for this Bryan - I had just assumed it was fibreglass when the complete absence of fibres in it should have alerted me different. D'oh!  I'll look out for suitable adhesive - info very much appreciated.
