Does anyone even have a working AC for one of these cars? It seems to be the one thing that all of us are looking for and I have been looking for years myself to no avail. I have seen no pictures of any complete systems and there are very very few pieces available.
I mean do they even exist anymore? Thats the last piece I need for my Wagon before its "finished" and it seems like a dead mission.

**Correction all of us dasher owners that are left**

What parts are you needing for the Dasher A/C? All or just some parts?

What about a place like Vintage Air? They may be able to rebuild some of those parts, but if it is missing, they can probably come up with something that, while not original, will function well-probably better than original.
