i want a console shifter

RedFish said

It aint easy or cheap. There are a couple of pieces of the automatic shifter linkage that are sometimes missing and nearly impossible to buy separately.
The OEM console is about worthless too. No cup holders, no arm rest, possibly a push button door release that often fails, definitely more trouble than its worth.
If you really want a shifter than looks like a shower fixture sticking through the floor, you're not the first.
This post comes from a guy who has been there done that and even produced the console brackets and a locating template for others to buy/use.

This is the best advice you'll find on the subject.

You can do anything to these cars but you have to decide if you're willing to put in the time, work and money. Take how much time, work and money you're guessing it'll take and times that by about 3. Then take into account that there's going to be some cutting, fabricating and welding involved plus the headache of trying to find parts that aren't reproduced.

Me personally, if my car doesn't come with an automatic console, it's never getting one. I might take the time to convert an auto to a 4 speed but I wouldn't go through all the work to convert a column auto to a floor auto + console.
