I stated mid-'70s because of the casting date. I don't know when they went from the "beach sand" pattern to the "light erosion" pattern and I don't know the vehicle year this dash was pulled from (but light green may be a clue, thinking Esprit). This early-'70s dash doesn't have a casting date, unless it's the pressed in number. But does/did have a blue film covering the backside.

Here is the date stamp on the backside of the original dash (4-8-70), Made in Canada B Uniroyal stamp, and 84/8 chalk mark (???). Not sure if the last pic is clear enough to see the grain pattern, but has a stretched little worm groove look to me.
Hmmm, they are upside down when looking at the backside of the dash, but I rotated the images so they would read right-side up, but I guess they don't stay that way when transferred... Dennis |

Ok I figured I’d ask just incase;
When I got my car in 1995 it had a replacement (1978+) dash installed; I pulled this one over twenty years ago from a 1975 Formula - I have understood that it’s not the early pattern; I just figured I’d ask incase… Unless something different literally falls in my lap, I wasn’t planning on using anything else.

Dug them out. See if you think they look the same now. Of course touching them from the screen, they're going to feel the same. LOL.

Dennis, did this car have the original radiator with the tag? You mentioned a 3 core, so an FM. Do you have a picture?

Well, now I'm just going to have to check upstairs to see if I really do have it...lol! I wonder if I was confused with the original 4 core radiator in my '71 455HO Formula...?
