So my dad got his console/shifter in that he grabbed from a 76 300 a few weeks ago. Leave it to Mopar to WELD the shifters to the floor. If you look close you can see where he decided to put the tach.

looks nice

did the factory set up have a ash trash/ spacer were the tach is?

Nope. there simply was no tach option for these cars. Police cars got a higher speed speedometer and an oil pressure gauge. That was teh best spot we could come up with. He hates column tachs, pillar gauges, and tachs on the dash, so....

Looks nice P2

nice work!

no wood around the shifter?

It's got a shiny aluminum piece... and the knob does have wood

That is the console, with a different insert. I wonder if I can come up with a wood piece.

a piece of wood grain Formica might do the trick........

Then it wouldn't match!

The 'yard near my house has two other cars with consoles.. I'm heading there this weekend, maybe there's a wood plate.

best bet!.........

did u find any wood trim. i saw this console on thurs. nite. it looks god. i cant wait to see the car drving around. deffinatley dont see em often

The other car at the junkyard had "half" a console, it was missing the insert. There was one more 300 there, but it had split bench.

Assembled!!

This is it when he got the car.





He has 94 Dodge Ram rims on it now... looks like a police car.

I tried the Cragar's from my Cougar on it..



He didnt want to use them

wats with the belair in the garage

Its my fathers... he's had it since '79.

you mean this one driven by a sheep? lol

It's basically a 2 door gran fury, that they used as police cars for 10 years in the 80s.

post some more pixs of the 57!
