Custom 3-speed on the floor console
Hi all
As you know, original Chrysler console for A-body with three speed on the floor has never been available.
So, I had to find something to remedy that
I was looking for a short console, compatible with the offset gear lever. Not easy.
Finally I found a guy who sold this kind of console. Unknown origin, Ford for sure but undetermined model. Escort maybe?
It wasn't very clean and desirable... but cheap (10 euros) :)
When i received it, I tested the fitment and yes... the overall size and the offset were compatible with my gear lever.
I just had to remove the rubber boot, but I kept the frame.
A good cleaning, two layers of satin black paint and a little sheet of self-adhesive false wood
In the car, with my Bose bluetooth speaker :
Not yet permanently installed, it will be fixed with self-adhesive Velcro on the carpet.
I also have to install the Bose USB charging dock into the console
In the end, it will look like this :
