1966 Dodge Dart or barracuda 4 speed console photos

[TheGrimSpeed]

Looking for photos on early abody 4 speed console car if you have any!
Trying to see if there’s any differences in the later 67 and up from the 66 factory consoles
Thanks

Other than woodgrain and things like a lock on the cover. Not much. I believe the 66 and 7 are the same. Auto and 4 speed are different of course.

Did 65s even have consoles?

Floor shifters, yes, but I don't ever recall seeing a console in a 65.

The seats were wider so no full length console. They had what many call a mini..badically just trim around the shifter.

My mind must be going.

The one I sold a while back, I even called it a console.

[SOLD] Thread '65 Floor shifter, console, ashtray and wiring'

I probably picked this up 10 years ago when I was thinking about putting a second Dart together and never used it.

I figure $100 or offer for it all, plus shipping from las vegas.

Floor shifter seems to be in decent working order, it seems to match the pitting on the console. Console has the ashtray in it. Included is the wiring with light socket to go with the console.

Re-read the title.

Did 66s with manual 4 speeds have anything other than the shifting bezel plate mounted on the carpet?

here are some pictures of differences 4 spd - auto.. They were both in 4 spd cars but one was and auto. Base

66 did not have wood grain top and had the groove running the full length as in the pic on left: flip up door

Why do you think that door is on that base? I have several of these not just whats picture. If you look close the one has a marker line on the inside to cut it for the fiberglass piece to be fitted. But it is not needed with the hursts shifter. The consoles will all interchange from 66-76 if you want to install one.

This one console came out of a ? Wait for it! a 71 Demon and it was there from the factory. I cut the floor out myself and it was there since the car was built. So never say never when it comes to Mopar.

I also owned a late special order1969 Coronet R/T 440 six pack 4 spd car in 1973 that they never made? And it had a fresh air hood that does not fit with the A12 intake. My son worked at the dealer where the car was ordered and the old owner of the dealership remembered the car. What a story behind that.

Just mentioning top plate, not base

 

[4spdragtop]

Agreed 66 and 67 are the same top plate.

66 did not have wood grain top and had the groove running the full length as in the pic on left: flip up door

So, would there be two boots on a 66 dodge dart 4 speed console? On on the hump itself and on on the console as well?

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks for clarifying this Mike!

Upper boot. Looking for a pic of the lower.

I had a lower boot on my 66 but it had been converted to a round stick Hurst at some time. May be it was added then.

 

[toolmanmike]

You can barely see the lower boot peeking out from under the console (below the steering wheel)

 

[toolmanmike]

Here is a lower boot listed on Summit's website.

Laysons has upper and lower boots listed.
