Educate me on this, Dave. Was this a column shift car originally? What is the console from and what are the differences with what should be there?

I see the bids are at $9200 with 7 days left.

Yes, originally a column shift automatic

Before restoration


What console should be in there

 

[polara71]

I believe that is a B body console although some have said they came in Fusey C's....... I havent seen a Polara with one

Interesting. So the column shift lever is gone... but the shift bowl with the bump-out for the lever is still there then?

 

[polara71]

Unless he changed the column, yes

we were lucky enough to have showers in our FOB with plumbing that worked fairly well.

LOL! No FOB's when I was there. The FOB was wherever the F we were...never more than a couple of hours at any certain grid location.

Salute to you Mark for serving!!!

it looks like a b-body console. But they have been used in Cs, too. I have one like it in my 69 Sport Fury CV which is original untouched. But at the end (on top) it has brackets for the seatbelts.

I think that Polara would do well in sweden )

RE: the conversion to a floor shifter.
Do you think it was done properly complete with bracket welded to hump or do you think it was Mickey Moused?

 

[polara71]

You have my opinion already.

FYI..........this car was fact equipped with a buddy seat so it already has 2 brackets in place. I do not know if they are the same type/location for factory console equipped cars.

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

it sold for 10.850$
Winner could be from the US/Canada
