Any One Seen This Style Dunn Dash Panel Before?

Looked it up on eBay. No doubt its "rare". If you look at the photos, it shows it has been placed over the stock instrument panel. Since the screws to attach the original to the dash are covered by the "custom" piece, I don't know how you would attach it. The oil pressure and temp gauges are still available new for about $60.00 each and are normally mounted in an aftermarket bracket below the stock panel. $500!!!! You can ask anything. If the ignition switch is an original pop out it might be worth $200.00, if all the gauges work.

Listed on EBay. Never seen this style before. Is it original?

Depends on how you define "original".

Original from the factory, no it is not.
Ford authorized accessory, no it is not.

Original from Dunn, maybe but I have never seen one before this one.
 
Does this help?

I have one just like it in my '28 pickup except there is a decal with "Dunn Manufacturing Co. , Clarinda, Iowa" on it in the lower center of the face. It mounts directly over the A instrument panel, including the dash light. The bottom screws of the A panel are left alone and the upper screws of the A panel go through the Dunn panel & A panel. There are two small straps riveted to the bottom face of the Dunn panel that go back on the outside of the wiring tunnel and mount with sheet metal screws (UGH). On this one, it looks like the bottom screws might hold the straps.

With the exchange on the Canadian dollar, I can buy another car. I'm out! :). Jeff

Looks quite junky to me. If you have $500 burning a hole in your pocket send it to the Salvation Army it will be very much appreciated and put to good use.
